[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To be fair they can’t accept everybody. [quote=Anonymous]We were surprised to get a rejection from both Friends and Grace (K). Are we alone here?[/quote][/quote]

I think there is an impression that non-TT schools basically take pretty much everyone, but this definitely isn't the case. I know a very smart, nice kid from a very strong feeder who was rejected for HS at one of these schools. I don't know what their admissions rates are. In another thread someone noted that Packer publicly discloses theirs and they reject more than they accept. So there are no guarantees in this process, and Friends and Grace in particular are likely just getting more difficult to get into.[/quote]

I'm not sure why there would be that impression. All these schools get tons of applicants and for HS Packer, Friends and Grace all take around 40-45. I'm sure they are all rejecting way more than they are accepting. These schools are getting more popular with families that live farther downtown and/or don't want an intense pressure cooker or the drama that sometimes comes with the TT schools. 
I also think Grace is probably pretty difficult to get into for K. It's very popular among rich downtown types. There are a lot of celebrity kids at Grace.[/quote]
