[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is super helpful but one note based on my experience is that Trevor has been getting much more popular. Still not near TT but harder to get into than the others you listed.

Though note my frame of reference is 9th grade admit and they are bigger in the lower school (on the UWS) then don’t add a lot at 9th grade. (UES).[/quote]

Interesting - we actually didn't get in there and were a bit perplexed because we got into what we thought were a couple of better schools.

[quote=Anonymous]All that being said, I wouldn’t just spend $70k a year to go to a meh private school just because they have an off year spot. Park your kid at a really good public and apply on cycle to privates later. I do know kids who apply out of lower tier schools to other ones but it is not easy.[/quote]

I don't necessarily disagree - though a lot would depend on the kid and the available schools - but I got the impression OP had already settled on private.

[quote=Anonymous]Name names! It’s all anonymous.

I’ll start- Hewitt. Never met a family that didn’t get an accept there.[/quote]

I was actually going to say Nightingale here - I similarly don't know of any people who haven't gotten in - but I should clarify that I actually think it's a pretty good school; Nightingale suffers from the problem that while the gap between it and Chapin academically is not actually all that large, there are a *ton* of good coed schools in that range, and most people who don't get into one of B/S/C and aren't hell-bent on SS end up at once of them instead. (and if they are hell-bent on SS they're just as likely to prefer Catholic)[/quote]
