[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We only applied to one school because it was the only one I thought was worth paying for, and we like our public fine for elementary. We didn't get in. We can easily afford private but our kid will be in public. I am totally second guessing this choice now that delta is here and this school year might be a mess too, but this was the choice made last fall.[/quote]

Generally it is not wise  to only apply to top schools, Let alone only one. If nothing else, it is good for your child to feel like they have options. Apart from that, there is no guarantee that schools with the most snob value will be well suited to meet the academic and social needs of your child. There are many many good options in this area.

It is better to learn this now then when applying for colleges. Applications are through the roof with online common apps. Many HD senior students last year regretted not applying to more “safeties” even though many say no decent colleges can be assumed as safe admissions anymore.[/quote]
