Subject: Which schools in DC or VA are still accepting applications?

Fairfax has the AAP program (formerly Gifted and Talented) that starts in 3rd grade and schools in McLean/Great Falls are academically second to none. Thomas Jefferson is the magnet high school that is one of the top publics in the US and sends more kids to great colleges than virtually any private in metro DC.
It is much harder to get into TJ any year than it is to find a last minute spot at a top dc private.

Perhaps your head of school can make some calls to local privates. This kind of thing happens quite frequently, and I believe private schools try and help each other out if they can. Of course, it helps if you are coming from a well-known private . . . .
