6th grade from MCPS:

- in STA
- WL GDS and Sidwell
- D Landon

Basically the opposite of what I expected. He loved STA though so we're excited!

In at Gonzaga and SJCHS De La Salle.

So ridiculous

Potomac is a serial waitlisted. There is more than a 0% chance but it's essentially a soft no.

Most likely.

We really wanted Sidwell for our 8th grader - because we think the academic challenge is something he wants (not that he won't be challenged elsewhere). He got into the other schools (GDS/Maret/Field/SA - but WL for SFS. But Sidwell was the only school that didn't have an interview session for the parents - or a 1:1 interview with the kids. Just the group interview. I really wish they gave us a chance for those conversations vs. group interview and essays alone. But we know we're lucky regardless

Us too. I was surprised by that one.

A for Holton for 3rd
WL for Maret, Potomac, GDS (non entry years)
D for Sidwell

From MCPS

Holton is a great choice! We have been very happy in LS!

We’re super excited! It was our first choice so any disappointment is more from ego bruising than real heartache. I also thought our interview at Sidwell went really well. Would have thought that would have netted us at least a WL. Oh well!

Huh?

DP – what are you confused about?

Assuming the PP meant little Langley, not Langley HS.

Maybe Sidwell is finally not playing the BS waitlist game. I'm sorry for you and your kid but at least it's less disingenuous and you don't have wonder if you might be the one person out of 500 who gets in off the waitlist.

That’s a pretty solid acceptance list there! You have a tough decision ahead.
