[quote=Anonymous][quote]I think it’s easier to be admitted in middle school. This year applications to the top privates for high school were very high.[/quote] I'm inclined to agree. There are exceptions of course, but most schools get slammed with applications in 9th – whereas the numbers aren't quite as high in 7th and 8th. I'd also argue that the importance of middle school sometimes gets understated and the idea is that you just kinda hang on until high school. But I had a really amazing middle school experience due to switching to private in 4th grade and it completely reshaped my attitude and feelings about school (which I was still young enough to be open to said reshaping ...). If your current option is working, then of course stay put and don't just switch for the admissions advantage. But if it's not, it's 100% worth exploring a switch now versus in 9th grade. [/quote]
