[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid had horrific ISEEs and still got into Calhoun (didn't end up going), I don't think they're particularly hard to get into. Trevor on the other hand is rising rapidly and I'd guess that nowadays it's probably about as selective as, say, Fieldston.

Did your kid take the SHSAT? Honestly, despite the more crowded college admissions picture, I'd have a hard time recommending that any smart kid go to Calhoun or UNIS over even one of the lower-ranked specialized high schools like Brooklyn Latin; if your kid is getting a 9 on the ISEE QR section then they're going to be horrifically bored with the math offerings at a 3T prep school.[/quote]

The 7 was in QR and the two 9s were the two verbal sections. They're not taking the SHSAT for various reasons. At the beginning of the process I had a sense that many of these schools were sure things but starting to feel less sure as I see the crowds at admissions events. We're applying to a couple of TTs but assuming we won't get in.[/quote]
