I am very happy for you that you are pleased with your children's school. From what I hear and see on this and other related threads, it is no small feat (here or anywhere actually!).

I also have to say that 99% of what I have heard about Doha College is very positive and would probably make it the hope of a lot of parents to get a spot there.

However, I just wanted to say that if a child did not get into DC, it's not because they are not "worthy of holding the title of Doha College student." There are a lot of factors that go into accepting a child at any school, such as passport, parent's employment, etc, and DC is no exception. In some cases, you can't even get on the list to get to an entrance exam.

But seriously, it's very encouraging to read about parents' positive experiences; we need to hear more of those!
