All Souls parent here who’s child just went through exmissions a got in to our First choice TT (we are unconnected).

There are two PreK classes at All Souls (each with 17-18 kids). One class is a bit younger and one is a bit older. The younger one about half decided on Public school because they would be deemed too young for private K this coming year, then there were a few sibling/ legacies and some unconnected families.

The oldest class, everyone was placed in either their first or second choice schools. Some of the kids got in to more than one TT. There were also a bunch of schools that All Souls didn’t list, that children also got acceptances to (i.e., Trevor, Town, Geneva etc.).

It seems like schools like Episcopal have a lot more PreK kids than All Souls, if they have 8 girls going to Chapin and 4 going to Spence. I think my child’s class only has 7 girls in it alone. 🤣[/quote]

I am a bit surprised that there are that many All Souls pre-k students that decide to go to public school because they don’t meet the private school age cutoff. At our private UES preschool, the summer/fall birthdays typically stay another year (“redshirt”). Those that opt for public school do so more for financial reasons.

They could go to K at a public and then apply to K at a private.[/quote]

Without exmissions support at the public? Unless they had a significant change in financial circumstances and assuming the whole point (or part of it) of sending their kids to All Souls was for the exmissions, I would imagine they would just repeat pre-K to redshirt[/quote]

Yes. I do think it’s crazy to go in to public for K because you feel like you don’t want to “hold your kid” back.

But it’s much harder to apply to private from public, even with a consultant. [/quote]
