[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It probably changes each year depending on how many siblings are actually applying? Ask during tours and interviews at each school.[/quote]

Will they actually share those numbers? "Last year we had 15 spots and 13 were filled by siblings/legacies"[/quote]

Oh, sounds like the smart parents enrolled their kids in K. [/quote]

The rich parents. [/quote]

Rich and strategic parents.[/quote]

But mostly rich. Strategic doesn’t matter of you don’t have the extra $650,000+ to throw around.

Yes, to some degree. But money itself is not even enough. Immigrants don't grow up here. We have no clue about independent schools and how competitive it is to get in. We moved to our nice neighborhood for the well-ranked public schools. Only when the kids were in the school in the lower grades,  we realize the problems of the schools, but then it is becoming too competitive to get into these privatye schools. So yes, it is money. but also the knowledge and the know-how. There is no comparison of the folks whose parents also grow up here. You see, like all the rest of America, wealth comes with generational advantage. Maybe if my kid get into these Bigwhatever schools, finally their kids have an advantage.
