[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] We also are applying to Hunter and privates. I thought Hunter was generally coveted, but it sounds like people with resources go private and those who pick Hunter (or others like it if those exist) make the choice primarily for financial reasons? The money matters to us but we can afford private. We are a doctor/lawyer family with two kids. If our daughter gets in, should we try Hunter. What kind of kids is that school good for or bad for. It’s very hard to get information about the school and we don’t know anyone who attends.[/quote] Hunter is very difficult to be admitted at the kindergarten entry point. There are more qualified children than available seats. People tend to view Hunter as winning the educational lottery. I would recommend reading Testing for Kindergarten by Karen Quinn and learning about the Stanford-Binet test. Hunter doesn't have sibling or legacy policies compared to private. [/quote]
