One thing that's a big variable is the year you are applying.  Do you get two cracks at PK/K or just one?

Spouse and I looked at virtually every private school in DC for Pre-K, along with our local public school.  We came away with a definite feeling that there were some places worth 30K and other places that were not.  That was just our opinion - and was good to have a point of view.

Our family initially applied to 3 schools for PK - withdrew from one in February and were about ready to withdraw from a 2nd two weeks out to give the admissions people a way to keep their rates up.

I defer to the wisdom oft he almighty board - but I believe stating first choice at the more competitive schools in competitive entrance years is very important.  Harder to pull that off if you apply to 8 plus schools I suppose.

Also convinced that admission folks have a sense as to where you are applying.  One application actually asks - we were straight up.

It worked out for us this weekend at a Big 3.  That's my .02.
