[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP: what grade did you apply to? If Kindergarten, my strategy would actually be to enroll at the school that offered you a spot, and then apply to your top choice for first grade. First grade is an expansion year at many of the schools and it sends a strong message to the admissions committee that you’re committed to the school. It’s also less competitive because not that many folks are moving their kids from public to private, and the folks who’ve just been through the PK/ K application process are also not as likely to switch so soon. I know many families who’ve got in at their top choice by reapplying in first grade. Good luck![/quote]

How does this work in terms of teacher recommendations and life at your current school? Is it awkward to sag we had a great year but we still want to go somewhere else and we hope you’ll give us a great recommendation? How does the e school treat you if they know (obviously) you really wanted to leave? Just curious because it seems first is such a long shot with so few spots open. [/quote]
