Received our acceptance letter from St. Mary's in Old Town for our soon-to-be kindergartner. We're very very happy!

Anyone declining Prep? If yes, why?

Nice! Where will he go, and why?


Headed to Prep. It was a tough decision; he/we loved St. Anselm's too. After weighing the size of the schools, locations, academics, athletics, and where DS envisioned himself fitting in best, Prep was the choice.

I was actually surprised by how many from my DC's school registered at GC versus at other excellent schools where they were accepted. In the end, not one turned down GC. Did not expect this. I know of at least 3 on the waitlist.

The gorgeous campus is attractive to a lot of kids. Also, if they have a lot of friends at GC that a bonus. When you add in the transportation convenience and the lower cost, GC does look good. We did not apply but I have to admit it did cross my mind since it's close to my home. Instead, I'm driving to DC every day!! LOL


We did apply, did get in, but will be driving to DC everyday.


We made the opposite choice but I am still a bit apprehensive about it.
what were your other choices?

Add SR and Holton to that list. I know three for sure who did.
