No way does the same family apply to GDS and Heights.

How do you know already you're waitlisted at Holton??

That was a post from last year.

Although I’m curious too, and also curious why a 13 or 14 year old was posting on this site.

No way.

GDS and Heights are so different.

I hope she is accepted and you come join our wonderful community! 😀

GDS and Heights in the same list? That seems unusual. Care to explain why you like both?


Wondering the same

It’s Sidwell or our IB public school. It’s the only private school we’re willing to pay for, honestly. However, I would be lying if I said it isn’t nerve racking to put all of our eggs into this one tiny basket. 4 pm cannot come quickly enough—ugh!


That’s kind of a weird position to take. Cathedral, GDS, Maret, Potomac are all pretty similar.


My child isn’t interested in a single gender school (NCS), and we live in UNW (so no to Potomac). My husband and I don’t want to pay for Maret or GDS. Our money, our choice.


Oh I guess that tracks. Good luck!
