[quote=Anonymous]DD has an August birthday. She is not redshirted and has applied to privates to enter with her current class. But the grade she should be entering in fall 2026 is one grade ABOVE a major entry point at most schools.

We have not discussed this with any schools, but we are open to her repeating a year if the school thinks it suits her better and it means getting accepted. But in an ideal world she would stay with her class, since she is above grade level on all academic metrics. Socially, she is slightly immature so could go either way.

So my question is this: if we reveal to schools that we are open to repeating, will they push for that (automatically default her into that grade, regardless whether she would have gotten into the one to which she is currently applying) since there is more space in those grades, it helps their numbers, etc.? In other words, can we trust them to be honest with us as to whether they think she is a better fit to stay with her current class or repeat a grade? Thanks.[/quote]
