[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It will show poorly that you applied the week before the deadline while many other families applying stated the process in October…. They spent time at the events, interview, getting transcripts there in time vs squeezing everything in the last week before the deadline.

It will put you at a severe disadvantage if your even allowed to set up an interview at this point.  And yes, there are probably 30-40 families already applying for the 12 spots…[/quote]

This is terrible advice--must be written by somebody who does not want you competing with their child for entry. It will not show poorly. it is still before the deadline. If you are a good fit your child will get consideration. 12 spots--6 for girls, 6 for boys--but probably more like 8 spots after you subtract sibling applications, legacies, and teacher kids who move to the front of the line. So 4-5 per gender...

Does PP's statement that it's probably 30-40 families applying sound right to others? I like those odds but I thought that the number of applicants would at least be double that.[/quote]

That is low. Generally more like 60. Still decent odds relative to 5 or 6 which has no additive spots and lots of applicants applying for like 3-4 attrition spots…[/quote]

last year was 80+ but it was pandemic crowd(ed)[/quote]
