[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This has been our experience this year. DC1 goes to a big private. We are applying for DC2 for K but child is summer birthday. The deadline has passed to renew contracts, and we renewed for DC1. We got a call late last week from admissions that DC2 would probably be offered a JK spot, that DC2s application was strong but the class make up was such DC2 would be better in JK. So I guess some schools are pretty close to finalizing.[/quote] Does anyone else wonder if this sort of thing is really true? Not what OP says, but how the school is framing it. Yes, a summer birthday can mean your child is the youngest in a class and would be better off in the grade below, especially if the school likes an older class. But could it also mean, that given the high tuition, schools are having a harder and harder time filling a JK and that's why you get get the JK spot?[/quote]
