[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Applying next year as an unconnected family from a TT private school. Does it help if your child got to round 2 for Hunter? [/quote]

It doesn’t get you in if that’s what you’re wondering. And I wouldn’t bring it up because it’s irrelevant if Hunter is this year and you’re applying to private next year. [/quote]

Curious why you said this? To get to Hunter round 2, need 99th% on an IQ test. Seems like could be helpful information to a school that values academic achievement. But can see how it can be viewed as bad taste/irrelevant. [/quote]

1) TTs trust their own admissions process, which is likely why they are all varied not only in content but format.

2) 99th% on an IQ test at 4 isn’t an academic achievement— it is potential.

3) IQ is not reliably tested at age 4.

I’ve been there and I understand the desire to set your child apart in this wildly stressful process. It wouldn’t be something I mentioned unless both processes were happening concurrently. And even then, it would be for my PSD to mention. A year later? I’d look like all the nuts parents sitting in an interview pontificating about my genius child. [/quote]
