Thanks for the questions NSG (hope abbreviation ok!). We will be in DC.

I have looked at the SATs which she can sit here and am contemplating having her sit before they change to see how she goes. American University doesn't require SATs but most others I have looked at will.

She finishes school here in Nov/Dec 2016. I am not sure she will have her results in time to apply for the Spring 2017 intake so likely looking at Fall 2017. The way our school years are offset makes it difficult. Gives us a little more time.

We will be renting and we have some choice but have to be inside the Beltway.

I will start a new thread shortly.
