[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you're unconnected and thinking of applying again later if the TTs don't work out, consider also applying to Speyer. Its a K-8, but has a lot of the enrichment the TTs do and small student/teacher ratio and great at acceleration and about half the class each year matriculates into these TTs for high school.

Sorry, what does connected/unconnected mean?[/quote]

Connected mean numerous things here are a few:

- feeder preschool (School director has a strong relationship with TT schools, and gets a lot of kids in to them) 
- Sibling 
- Legacy 
- A personal connection to someone on the board, admin, teacher who can vouch for you.

Unconnected means you have none of those things on your side. [/quote]

Is there no shot at all for unconnected families for the list of schools OP listed?[/quote]

No not necessarily. Schools also love diversity and that can mean children from other neighborhoods and small “unknown” preschools. So it doesn’t mean you can’t get in, it’s just another layer to get through.

We are a family that went to a feeder preschool but otherwise totally unconnected to the school we got in to. [/quote]
