<p>Also, I will say that IMO, there is a chance that another year’s accomplishments and good grades could tip the scales. There is also the chance that next year will bring a different group of applicants. My daughter’s school took only one child from our state this year and it was a legacy (a big legacy). Theoretically, such a situation might not exist of our son were to apply next year. He is happy with his choice now, and I am as well. I will admit I love the HADES school. There are, to me, clearly advantages to such a school which are fairly unique to them. However, as we all know, every child is different and what suits them best in schools is different as well.</p>
