[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just going to bring this one over from the duplicate thread:

"It’s apparently next to impossible to get into Miami privates these days with all the Trump supporting finance transplants, at least according to WSJ. Are you certain it’s even a viable option?"

And now respond to it: NYC and DC schools are also considered "next to impossible to get into" so if OP is moving their child just before 6th or 9th grade, the odds are about the same as if they were moving schools for 6th or 9th grade here.  In Miami, there would be fewer legacies, and coming from a DC top tier school would probably help in the sense that they carry the institutional signaling that most of Miami is still trying to develop.

Read the wsj article.  It’s orders of magnitude harder because demand has gone up dramaticalky in only a few years.  It always surprises me when people argue that a source is incorrect without even bothering to read the underlying article.  [/quote]

The WSJ article is describing the same rapid rise I referenced above. Demand exploding over a few years and national prestige ecosystems built over decades are not quite the same thing.

P.S. In addition to writing how the school has changed over the past 50 years without reading the article, I know students currently attending the school. [/quote]

What you don’t know is whether there is room for op’s kids.  Op, I would have a talk with admissions before committing to this move.[/quote]
