[quote=Anonymous]We did this. I wouldn't say Big 3 but Big 5. Turned it down for a school that is not frequently mentioned on this board. Child is diverse, this was for PreK admit, very smart, very social, 97% WPPSI. We got no aid at the private but no one does for PreK. We decided that a smaller cheaper school closer to home without a grueling commute was the better choice for the family. Child would do great at most schools. Decided that PreK-3rd years are not all that drastically different in most of these schools to warrant the expense and drama of the commute for the family. There is also a younger sibling in preschool closer to home. Will apply for top schools during 3rd or 4th grade when we can apply them and their sibling to the same school or schools all nearby each other in DC for fewer logistical dramas.[/quote]
