[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What kind of trickle-down impact will this have for other privates? Seems competition will be even more stiff to make up for fewer GDS spots? I have a 9th grade applicant, so i want to be positive, but wouldn't it make sense to admit pk/k/9 as normal (don't they want a full 9th grade class to graduate in 4 years?) and severely curtail all other years?[/quote]
I'm sure they are considering all scenarios. They could even just cut the whole K class for a year. It's not like they are hurting for applicants and it's not like people won't apply for their 1st grader a year later. Purely speculating your idea does seem to make sense that they may want to keep those grades' admits as usual or close to whatever they had planned. 9th is also where they can pick a lot of athletic or academic superstars which pays off later with sports teams and  college admissions and prestige for the school.[/quote]

Yeah! And just, like, lay-off the kindergarten teachers and invite them back in a year, whatever![/quote]
