It seems to me that they always have so many sibs and legacies applying that an otherwise unconnected dc needs to really wow them with tippy-top ERB's in order to even get an interview. [ Reply | More

Unless you are connected _and_ offer diversity _and_ have a DC who has terrific scores and a great personality, don't waste your time. [ Reply | More

I was in love with it, too, and it is a great school. But after seeing lots of schools, I wasn't in love as much. It's really hard to know until you see lots. [ Reply | More

Odds are long for non-sibling applicants. You may also want to look at some of the Episcopal schools that end in 8th grade (St. Hilda's St. Hugh's, Cathedral, Grace, St. Luke's). There's an observation of a Trinity child interview for K in the book The Overachievers, by the way. [ Reply | More

Yes. Why's that so hard to believe. They have X number of spots. If we were connected, I'm SURE we would have gotten an interview... [ Reply | More

Us too - although DH had business collegue connection. Asked us straight up if it was our FC. Seemed only willing to go to bat for us if it was. At the time friend asked, we couldn't honestly say yes. WL'd also. [ Reply | More
