Slightly fictionalized, but our situation is basically this: b/g twins, and we are legacies at both Cathedral and Collegiate. Assuming we can get in both places WWYD? Split the kids so that db at least can go to Collegiate which has a high school? Send both to Cathedral even though it's only k-8? Or try to get both into a coed K-12, possibly having to turn down early admission? I know we could have worse problems, but I'm tortured about this! [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

many families "have" to do this who don't have your choices. Apply to both schools as legacies and see where you get in. In this day and age, many other school will not even open your file until early admit dates have passed or you blatantly tell tehm you are *not* doing early admit. And even then..... [ Reply | More

If one could go to Collegiate that has HS, I would send ds there. Don't you think it'll be just as hard to get b/g twins into HS? Far easier if you only have to deal with dd alone. [ Reply | More

NP - I assume the situation is really that she has B/G twins and the legacy schools are, say, Spence and Town. Something analogous but not the precise schools mentioned in the post. Interesting (and pretty enviable) situation, OP; I would try to send your son to Collegiate and apply broadly for your daughter. [ Reply | More

I would try to send both to Cathedral and use boy's legacy status at Collegiate for high school if it seems like the right school for him. Legacy counts for high school also. [ Reply | More
