At Brick, for the latest class most popular schools were St B’s (9), Dalton (8), Buckley (6), Chapin, Sacred Heart, St D’s (5 each) and Brearley (4).

In general, they have a little over 50 to place each year and are a top feeder for the single sex schools and Dalton. I would expect the list looks pretty similar at Episcopal whereas 92NY skews more to co-ed.


How many in this Brick's list are siblings/legacy?


The unconnected outcomes I am aware of weren’t all that different from the overall list.

Out of 35 eligible children this is what I know. This doesn’t include children who also got accepted to these schools but turned them down for another school. This is just where people chose to go (so more people got in to Dalton, Collegiate etc, buy chose other schools):


Dalton - 1
Collegiate - 1
St. Bernard - 1
Trinity - 1
Hunter - 1
St. David’s - 1
Browning - 1
Allen Stevenson - 1

There are a few kids out of the two classes moving out of the city so don’t apply, and there are a few kids who ultimately chose public school (based on being summer bdays). And obviously I didn't add the girls schools and all the coed schools.


I have a hard time believing that someone’s kid got into Dalton, but chose to go to one of the other schools listed. Other than Trinity or perhaps Collegiate.

Thank you. And what is the parent body like? How elitist is it in comparison to other UES preschools (Brick, STMPG, CCDS specifically)?

PCDS is outpacing WSMS

Just choose whichever one is closest to you and whichever one you get into? Also the vibes are pretty different


How different are the vibes amongst each of these schools? What is the vibe at 92NY vs Brick vs Episcopal vs WSMS ?

Just a data point but people swear by 92NY and PCDS as THE TT but we know legacies from PCDS that turned it down for WSMS and board of trustee members of 92NY that chose WSMS for their children 🤷🏾‍♀️


I would be shocked if this was true.


Look it up. Billionaire NY family with many buildings named after them.


Trump ?

Kind of hard to say between them since they are all excellent. Reason it’s difficult is that it’s hard to figure out what’s a boost from the school vs what’s an admit because of a legacy relationship, etc.

+1 unless they needed the childcare (WSMS offers very long hours).


I'd add that 92NY does not have a board of trustees, they have a board of directors. Given the age of the directors, they would be more likely to be grandparents than parents.


Yes, member of 92ny board of directors, not a grandparent, and now one of the top five donors at WSMS 🤷🏾‍♀️.
