DD is grateful for choices but had her heart set on GDS. I also think it is the right place for her but counseling her that she’s lucky to have choices. In the unlikely event she’s pulled off GDS’s WL however we’d love to give some waiting kids her other spots.
Very interesting list. All progressive, diverse schools and then SR. What made her want to apply to SR? Seems like just the uniform piece alone is the opposite of every other school on her list.
Except socioeconomic diversity of course.
Which schools on that list do you think don’t have socioeconomic diversity? Burke is different than most other schools who give a little FA to a lot. They give a lot to as many as they can. Speaking from experience!

4th: GDS, Landon, Sidwell, STA
Son is leaning to single sex, parents to co-ed, but one prefers more progressive and one does not. Good place to be, but had planned for the decision to be made for us.

It might just mean that your kid is exactly like the majority group at those schools. This is a good lesson to learn before college.
Don’t forget the public options!

Let them know. A child in my kid's class got off the waitlist last year. There might not be a lot of movement, but there will be some. We are there now and it's been great.

I don’t think anyone is biting their nails about Bullis admission. It is a 4th tier school, bordering on 5th tier. The tiers:
1st Tier:
Sidwell & GDS
2nd Tier:
Visi, Stoneridge, NCS, Prep, Gonzaga
3rd Tier:
St. John’s, St. Anselms Abbey, Madeira
4th Tier:
Bullis and the rest
Weird list.
Did you not read about the stuff that went on at GDS in the middle school? Ouch.
Bullis is better than the Tier 3 schools.
Potomac would be up there as well..
And I would definitely put Madeira above Stone Ridge and Visi. That wouldn’t even be a debate.
You are delulu😂😂
What was that you were saying?

Sorry your daughter didn't get in.
You might want to rethink that. You don't seem in the know.
