I don't necessarily agree that all 99x3 will get TTs but I think you should really work at the lower tier interviews just as hard as the TTs even with super high scores - just to have choices. DS's classmate had 99 ERB (confirmed) and they were WL everywhere. Finally came off one 3rd tier WL day before deadline. I think they set their sights high b/c of score and did not show much interest at the schools on the bottom of their list. That being said, if PSD knows a 2nd or 3rd tier is in your Top 3 - they will/should definitely convey that to the school so they take application seriously. [ Reply | More

If dc has a top ERB score, schools that are not top 10 or 15 will assume you are not really serious about them and you are only using them as safety. They assume you will take another higher tiered school if dc gets off the WL there or something. So, they will WL you or reject you. [ Reply | More

This is really true. It's all about strategy, which makes everything harder. If your kid has a 99, you listen closely to feedback and pick a FC that loves your kid, because she's not getting into Trevor (unless you genuinely love Trevor and FC it). [ Reply | More

I personally think PSDs may give away alot of info to schools that are your safety. They want to get the max number of kids in school and have few shutouts so they are interested in talking up the kids they think would accept the safety school. PSD told us school 4th on our list wanted DS very much. She knew we really liked the school in question but two schools higher up on our list were also likely to come through. When letters came out, DS WL'd at the 4th school which accepted another boy at our PS who landed up taking the spot. I think PSD told the school we likely would not come and other child definitely would. [ Reply | More

[ - ] We left our private preschool, but on good terms and with a donation in addition to them keeping our deposit. Would it be ok to ask them for a 'recommendation letter' in case we decide to send kids to private school in the future? Just wondering if it would be good to do this now while we're still enjoying the halo effect, rather than later when we're long forgotten. 5 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

I didn't but that was me. I left after a yr because we got dc into a prek at a catholic school. I didn't like the catholic school so we applied to private but I didn't feel comfortable to ask the PSD for a letter since she is very busy with all of her paying families [ Reply | More

[ - ] So, kid #1 is going to Lower Lab. #2 is going to be in preK age next year and I will send her to PS198 (hopefully we'll still have siblings preference next year). If she's not going to make the cut for LL K the year after she will stay in 198. I don't care if it is all black or not. She'll do fine and I have only one building to go to to pick up and drop off. 3 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

I love my apartment and Carnegie Hill and DD is 2 now and I am starting to think about talking people into this. I looked at the zone map and I got so depressed. There are roughly six streets with lower-income housing and the rest of the zone is mainly UMC. If everyone just sent their kids there it would be amazing. It could have PTA money and a diverse student body. [ Reply | More
