[quote=Anonymous]Waitlists are 1% maybe and 99% no, roughly speaking.

Our dc went to a well-known preschool as well. Can’t be the same as pp because the numbers don’t line up. I’m not going to be as specific About numbers or even exact year because I don’t want to out anyone, but here’s a rough idea:

Of the kids who applied out, all were full pay.

Of those who applied to sidwell, all but two got in (two waitlisted. One went elsewhere, other navigated multiple waitlists). Won’t say specific number, but more than 5 were admitted to sfs. Only one had a “hook.”

Of those who applied to Beauvoir (some of whom also applied to sfs and gds, some of whom also  applied to gds, some of whom applied to other privates but not sidwell or gds), 7 or so got in, and at least 3 or so were waitlisted. About half the admits were siblings or legacies or both.

Of those who applied to gds, at least 4 got in, at least 2 were waitlisted, 1 was rejected. Not a single sibling/hook to my recollection.

Many kids got into more than one of these.

That said, this doesn't tell you a lot about anyone's admissions rates, but what it tells you, in combo with pp's post, is that there's different pools of kids applying to these schools. I know people reject the feeder preschool notion, and it's definitely not like New York. But that doesn't mean there isn't a very different set of numbers coming out of a couple select preschools versus everywhere else. Be careful you don't underestimate that reality. The combination of a couple bitter parents and parents who haven't seen anything outside the Outplacement reality for certain preschools leads to a lot of very confusing and incorrect information.
