[quote=Anonymous]Give some thought to the timing of applying. Pay attention to when their MS starts, not your public. Some privates expand for 6th, others for 7th. It's obviously easier to get in for the years they are accepting more students. Prep your child a bit to speak with adults and have a mini interview (what subjects do you like? What do you like doing on the weekend? Do you think you would like this school, why?) If they require standardized testing (ie ISEE), have your kid take some practice tests in advance and work with a tutor on test strategy if needed. Make sure your child is well behaved with their teachers as they will need a recommendation or two from their current school. Good luck![/quote]
