[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There seems to be a lot of discussion about Brearley here, but what do we think about Spence and Chapin. Are those ok w/r/t curriculum, admin leadership, parent community, kids socially, etc? [/quote]

Yup!! And Brearley we got in to (even though it’s our second choice). So now I am really worried by what I’m hearing. Going to still try our shot at the waitlist for our first choice. [/quote]

Are you the OP from this thread? If so, I’m glad you at least got an offer from your second choice! Good luck with the WL too.[/quote]

I am not. But like I said we love B and most likely will stick with it. We really wanted Chapin and that’s where we sent our FCL. We just felt Chapin would have been a better fit. We are meeting with our PSD to see about what we should do next. [/quote]

You got in B without FCL?? Is that possible? B is highly sensitive to its yield. Also, why do you think C is a better fit? Just curious, I have seen many families give up other SS like S or C to get to B. One family I know even gave up their deposit to C to go to B.[/quote]

Brearley specifically asked not to send FCL this year and only love letters. So in a way that worked in our favor.

In terms of why we prefer C over B, we as family just feel like our child would fit in to C better. We worry about the intense rigor at Brearley in comparison to Chapin. We also already have lots of friend at Chapin, so it’s like a built in community, as wit Brearley we know maybe one person.

But at this point we are tossed up between the two. We were told we are at the top of the list for Chapin and could most likely get off, but now I’m thinking Brearley may be the correct choice. [/quote]
