Prep School Admissions Prep School Chances
1

<p>there's a chance i'm moving to dc and just in case i'm applying to gds.
i've already visited and had an interview - i thought it went well. the admissions woman seemed relatively impressed.
just want some tips on what i should put on applications/whatever and also how much of a chance i have of getting in so far.</p>

<p>currently attend a private quaker school - in 9th grade.
grades are good - mainly a's, a few b's, a couple c's only in participation in some classes.
best subjects are lit (writing) and french but i find pretty much all my subjects easy.
outside of school i dance (for athletics at school and ballet outside of school), guitar for 5 yrs, and apparently i have a talent for art, although haven't done much with it. also i used to be on a swim team but gds doesn't have a swim team so it seemed sort of irrelevant.
also my mom went to the school (on the website they said they pay attention to that sort of stuff.)</p>

<p>thoughts?</p>

<p>its a all boys school</p>

<p>uhh, actually its co-ed. good chance, i would say.</p>

<p>@Lax4545: Lol I think you’re a little confused. :wink: Georgetown PREP is all boys. Georgetown DAY is coed. Its very important to note the distinction between the two schools as they are VERY different.</p>

<p>@kathrynnn123: I think you have good chances. However, why not consider applying to Sidwell as well? It’s another private, coed school in the DC area and it has an excellent reputation. I suggest this school because it is Quaker, a quality your current school has as well. :)</p>

<p>Also, there was another thread on schools in the DC area. You may want to take a look at it just for general advice on DC area schools. Here is a like to it:</p>
