[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's just sensation.  Makes for good reading. And also a natural follow up to the Bloomberg article last month about $70,000 tuition... if that article hadn't gotten so much attention, this article never would have been written.

Was it very competitive this year? Yes.  Is it very competitive every year? Yes.  Keep in mind, that by the author's own admission, these private schools don't publish statistics, so it's anyone's guess what the real numbers looked like.  And just because you can drum up a few rejection stories doesn't make it true.[/quote]

We had a call with someone from Parents League who said that applications were up 25% due to COVID baby boom and uncertainty around the new mayor. The article was definitely very bombastic but I do think it's going back to pre-COVID levels of competition, which had dropped off with families leaving the city during COVID. [/quote]

Live birth data published by NY State Department of Health does not seem to support the hypothesis of “Covid baby boom”.

Numbers of live births in NYC: 2020 - 94,857, 2021 - 92,523, 2022 - 92,094.
