[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child got in for K. (We ended up not going.) WPPSI was very good. Did well at the play date. DH and I acted like normal humans at the parent interview. Other than that, a lot of times it's numbers. They need X amount of diverse kids, boys, girls, and yes they have spots taken up for siblings. I have a family member who does admissions for private K-5. They need to build out the class they are looking for and a lot of it is out of your control and depends who applies.[/quote] +1. It’s a numbers game for sure - there are 48 spots for K, but most of the spots go to siblings/alumni children/staff children. So maybe there are 16 spots for new families…and usually 200ish applications. If the siblings are mostly girls, it will be harder to get a new girl in, for instance. They are putting together a class. And a lot has to do with parents at the K level. [/quote]
