There is a non-zero but almost zero chance. How do you define authentic?
So you're saying there is still a chance, right??

I’m sorry that was your experience and it sounds like they should have encouraged you to apply more widely at the very least. We are also a K-8 family and had a completely different experience. We found outplacement support to be very strong. Please don’t paint all K-8s with the same brush, many are very effective at outplacement.
The supply/demand issue is very real. One must apply to 5 plus schools nowadays....
This depends. We applied to 2 and got into both, but we were not looking at any of the NW DC schools.
NW DC's population density ups the demand dramatically.
As a result the schools in that area are able to appear better because they can be more selective because of more applicants.

What do you mean? Can you elaborate w/oout naming the school?
