Guess I wasn't fit for Bullis then according to that poster.
Are you kidding? Everyone's a fit for Bullis. They literally take anyone willing to pay.

And just how would YOU know that Sidwell isn't the perfect fit for the girls? Do you sit down to dinner with the family to discuss it?Anonymous wrote:Sidwell had to significantly upgrade its security and move away from its open campus once the Obamas showed up. It is quite safe now, but it was no safer than Maret or GDS before that. I'm also sure Sidwell is not the perfect fit for either girl, but it's hard to say what they might have been had their dad not been elected. It changed everything for them. It's hard to be a White House kid these days.

Spelman or Howard in that order.

No one. It just goes to prove, there's no place like home.

It isn't like she needs to pick a school due to strength of job placement.
Given current events overseas, they would never do school anywhere but here.

Howard, really? With a Sidwell Friends education? We all know your views on that guess.
Without being the POTUS's daughter, would she have gotten into Sidwell?
No. She would be living in Chicago.
And attending Lab, which is at least as good as Sidwell. I've been involved with both schools and prefer Lab.
agreed. Lab>Sidwell
I thought Chicago Latin was the better school.
Lab and Latin are essentially equivalently elite private schools. Lab has a large number of U of C faculty kids, so some people think it gives it a more intellectual vibe. It's kind of splitting hairs to say one is better than the other.

They also toured Maret so you could say it was plausible that Maret was a backup.Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:NP here,

The back story is that the Obamas' first choice for school in DC was GDS, which reminded them of Lab. But then security/logistics issues with the GDS Palisades campus caused them to settle on Sidwell.
The back story according to GDS parents.
I have heard this and it is very plausible because FLOTUS toured GDS before they moved to the White House.

Sidwell is the place of choice for security purposes.
