[quote=Anonymous]My kid now attends one of those schools and got into another with a fairly similar profile and no connections. We were pretty focused on these schools so made clear our interest. I have no sense of the admissions rates.

I think Friends, Grace and Trevor have gotten more competitive recently - I know a very bright kid who was rejected by one of them but got into one of the other schools you mentioned. I think Grace expands the most for HS.

Yield doesn't really matter for these schools but I think they still want a sense that you really want to be there and they aren't "safeties."

At these schools, if a child excels they can do very well with college, but exmissions data is diluted as there are more kids who are less academic (though they are moving away from that). In some ways it is nice that not every kid is aiming for Ivies. Most of these schools are very capable of challenging your child unless they are truly off the charts smart. An 90% of the NYC kids whose parents think they are off the charts smart aren't.[/quote]
