[quote=Anonymous]As I said, I didn’t grow up here and am learning about the schools as I go so I probably dont know what I’m talking about, but shouldn’t Hunter be easier to get into - at least for an oldest kid? At the stronger private schools, it seems like there aren’t many openings after you knock out the seats reserved for siblings, legacies and other connected kids. At least at Hunter your kid can compete for every seat. Someone told me that last year at Dalton there were only six seats for kids with no hooks. No idea if that’s true, but it’s clear that a lot of spots are spoken for before admission season even kicks off. My real question is should we even consider Hunter. We are a comfortably upper middle class family so we can pay the full private school tuition for both of our kids but getting free tuition would be meaningful for us. Are the private schools so much better that it’s worth paying or are they only marginally better?[/quote]
