[quote=Anonymous]The wsj article does not reference admission rates.  I was referring to this :

The children of South Florida’s new tech titans and hedge-fund managers are overwhelming the area’s school system. Most of the private schools are full. Many are expanding but still lack even enough desks for all the children of recently relocated executives.

South Florida has plenty of new housing and shiny modern office space. It is the shortage of private school slots that is emerging as a major bottleneck for more high earners relocating to the area. Those whose children are on multiyear waiting lists for the next available opening may end up moving away, or never arriving in the first place.

Barry Sternlicht, chief executive of Starwood Capital Group, has said repeatedly that he wanted his executives from the firm’s former Connecticut headquarters to relocate to the new base in Miami Beach. But a number of them have school-age children and wouldn’t move because the area’s private schools have long waiting lists.
