no. there are a lot of families that don't apply to private, for $$ and other reasons. [ Reply | More

there are probably more Anderson/Hunter shutouts in private than the other way around... [ Reply | More

depends on which private, but there is really not a huge overlap...more than half of the kids at H/A did not apply to privates and vice versa [ Reply | More

Of course no one knows any stats for sure but at Hunter - all Manhattan kids with many private school sibs - I'll bet that a lot more than half the kids applied to private schools. As for private schools, ITA that it depends on which private. What you say probably applies to the SS schools & maybe downtown schools (since A & H are both uptown). But I'll bet many of the coed school kids applied to A and H. [ Reply | More

I know several H and A families and they all have other kids in public school, but that may just be my crowd. Still, when you consider that half of the kids at H/A were too young to get for privates to begin with, and there are inevitably quite a few who just can't afford it, the overlap is not so big. I do think that it's getting bigger now that private school admissions are so tight that even families that don't want public at all are cautioned to apply as a back up. [ Reply | More

not necessarily - many choose h/a for $$ reasons - (this covers people who can't afford private and even those who can but still perfer not to spend the $$ in that way) [ Reply | More
