[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there any way to get off the waitlist at any of these TT pre-schools 3's programs? Our kid was waitlisted at 3 and rejected at 2. Very competitive this year unfortunately and we did not sign up for public schools. What do you recommend doing in this situation?[/quote]

I’d join the Parents League and set up a call to ask their advice. Or you can just start calling schools yourself to see if they have spots. Were these standalone preschools or 3s programs in ongoing schools?[/quote]

Have called the schools every day since being on the waitlist. Most of the classes spots (UES TT preschools) went to siblings, legacy, and children of faculty. Essentially competing for 4-6 slots per school with all of the Elite Manhattan crowd. Had references from previous alumni and still did not get in anywhere. Actually bewildered as to what to do. [/quote]

What about other schools? Merricats, IPS, MAPCDS, Temple Israel/Sharaay, York Ave, Playgarden Prep, William Woodward, Bridge Community… there are lots of schools on the UES.[/quote]

What is your question here? We did not apply to any of these schools. Only the TT UES schools, and of the ones you listed, only MAPCDS could be considered one of them; however, we did not apply there. [/quote]

You could call those schools and see if they have spots. If you need a spot for 3s, didn’t apply for 3K, and have called all the “TT” schools and been told no, that is my recommendation (you asked for recommendations). Call other preschools and see if they’ll allow you to apply now.

If you’re just looking for sympathy or to vent, I’m sorry the process didn’t go the way you hoped. If you’re actually asking what to do, that’s what you do. Or you don’t send to 3s and reapply for 4s when there are even fewer (and sometimes there are zero) spots at these “TT” schools.

Just trying to help.
