[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are only so many full-pay families with high-wppsi score kids. the big 3 are all competing for those families. [/quote]
If this was actually true, our DD would be at one of those schools right now.  She isn't.  :([/quote]

I’m sorry pp :cry: . This process is so hard. [/quote]

I would argue that it's not predictive either.  A family member did get into [i]any [/i]of the preschools applied to, and clearly not limited to the "big 3."  Ended up at a private school most on this board likely never heard of, but attended a top 5-7 university (depending on who did the ranking) and killed it there in a very rigorous major.  Anyone believing a private school is a gateway to success, either in college or life, is kidding themselves.  There are far more important reasons to select a private school.[/quote]

Sorry:  did not get into any of the preschools....[/quote]

+1. Sidwell rejected my kid for middle school and NCS accepted her off their wait list, in August. She went to a magnet instead and ended up at a top 3-5 university (like PP said, it depends on who’s doing the ranking and which year). In fact, I’d argue the chances of a top college are better for a completely unhooked kid like mine, compared to competing with legacies and the kids of big donors at a top 3. [/quote]
