[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Brearley pushed out its longtime 20+ admissions director and put someone in the role who wasn’t ready under their new head. They used to have a very smooth process and let you know almost immediately. I’m
so sorry they had you first choice it only to reject you, but the new head is found scorched earth and gutting the school despite never having worked Manhattan independent schools before. It’s a mess. You dodged a bullet.[/quote]

I actually like that Brearley changed the way they are doing acceptances. I feel it’s more holistic and equitable compared to how Winfred was running the ship. I also feel like Brearley accepted more kids this year who were not connected (not sibling or legacy) from years prior.

I don’t know too much about the new head, but I’ll be curious how the school changes. [/quote]

Agreed. Winifred was amazing but they took three very smart girls from our preschool so cheers to them for that. And to the disaffected Brearley mom, please take a break. We get it. We appreciate your perspective. Please take a break from this for yourself. From one anxious mom to another, you need to find a way to reset. [/quote]

What I meant to say here is that they still seem to have taken the same kind of kid, but possibly with wider variety of parents. [/quote]
definitely not same kind of kids this year. [/quote]
