[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our DC applied for 6th to some of the very competitive schools OP and others mentioned; this was right before the pandemic.  I noticed two things going to all the open houses, tours, etc. - you started seeing the same families over and over, and there were a lot of them.  Granted, these events were not solely for kids applying to 6th, but the number of families at least interested in applying to the same set of schools for MS was a real surprise.  If you were applying from public and did not have some sort of desired connection or exceptional extracurricular talent (and, truly, for 5th graders, few do), my impression is that you needed a really strong academic profile to be competitive.  Also, I would take some of the numbers being thrown around with a grain of salt.  I know only the specific admit number to one school (the one our DC attends), and it's quite a bit different than what's on this thread. [/quote]
 If your experience is pre-pandemic then it isn't relevant today in terms of admissions.[/quote]
