[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Add to that, with all due respect to SJC, it's usually not the top choice for many kids, so they of course accept more than actually enroll, I suspect their yield is considerably lower than Visi/GP, for example.[/quote]

It may not be the top choice for ALL kids who apply, but it is still a top choice for many. Last year the yield was bigger than expected. There was an extensive  waitlist with even siblings turned down. I have friends who this happened to and admissions told them that it was a tough year. A lot of smart, qualified kids who didn’t get in who really wanted to.

Maybe this year will be different, although I can’t imagine that SJC is suddenly struggling to fill seats. Half boys, half girls, with a big chunk of those being recruited athletes. Plus kids who are offered art/music/theater or academic scholarships. That doesn’t leave many spots.

We know a ton of people who applied this year and it had the most private school applications for our middle school. I think a big part of the appeal of the school is its affordability, so the friends we know who have applied have not applied to other privates and this is their first choice. They will go to public if they don't get in. [/quote]
