K boy

Congressional yes
Flint Hill yes
Potomac WL

Still deciding based on aid but Flint Hill has always been our top choice

PK boy

Sidwell WL
GDS WL
Beauvoir accepted

DS Will probably go to Beauvoir.

Incoming 4th daughter

NCS- accept
Maret- Wait list

Of the scenarios my spouse and I envisioned, we did not deem this result to be likely. Such is life...

Grace - Accept

No aid GDS, deciding

Grace is wonderful. My kids both went there and are now doing really well in middle school (academically), but what I appreciate even more is that they were steeped in kindness all through elementary.

Thanks for this!! We love the community at Grace as well and really think it will be a great fit for our DS.

I guess going to Beauvoir. Not sure but seem like this year K for Beauvoir is easier to get into than previous years.

Did you get a no or a WL?

Rejected to both Sidwell and GDS... not even on waitlist

Out top choice was GDS

I totally get it.

And to the whack jobs out there- I didn’t see anything insulting in how this person feels. Fact- Beauvoir and GDS are equally awesome but TOTALLY different. We applied to both as well, hoping for one over the other.

Incoming 9th grade girl
GDS
Maret
Potomac

Wondering which is better at avoiding groupthink. We all live in a bubble but will one be better than the others in terms of exposing her to ideas that are actually different from those in the bubble? And is one worse?

Does it matter?

This is an extremely talented kid, must be a star in school and in some competition (sports and/or academic) circle. Can anyone keep the admission outcome of such a star from being known by the school classmates, teammates?

Why? No one knows except the parents.

This, if true, reveals too much information.

That what though? Who the kid in question could be? Does it matter if some people here know who this is? The poster didn't say anything bad about the kid or the schools so I'm just curious.

This risks revealing the identity of the kid, an extraordinary kid.

Do you know how many families would love to get into beauvoir and didn’t? And now you’ll deign to come? I hope you don’t. You sound like a real jerk. Beauvoir is a nice community. Hate to hear you might be coming.

NP - People like you are why I wouldn’t dare to consider Beauvoir. Checked them out once and couldn’t wait to get out of there.

9th grade
Potomac--Accepted
StA--WL
Landon--Accepted
