[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the interests of setting proper expectations, anyone have anecdotal evidence of schools where sibling applications for PK or K might be higher (or lower) than usual this year?[/quote] These are good years to apply for entry-level kinder or pre-kinder at any of the Big 3 or other private schools in the Washington, DC area. The simple reason is that the Boomers (obviously, even for the ones on their third trophy wife), as well as GenXers have mostly already aged up and out of having children of pre-kinder and kindergarten ages. And the Millennials have, for the most part, not yet started families, or do not yet have children of pre-kinder and kindergarten ages; and certainly not with older siblings. You are in a temporary lull or trough, so to speak, and so a highly-qualified student, with parents who appear willing and able to pay 12+ years of private school tuition, will seem very attractive.
