What are the chances of getting into a UES preschool for 3s? We are planning to apply to all the usual suspects, but it would be good to know if it's unlikely or if there is a legitimate chance at specific schools because they add a new class at 3s, etc.

The main entry point to Brick is 3s, and if you’re open to an afternoon spot your chances are pretty good.

Not sure where this is coming from; 92NY, Brick, Episcopal usually do not add for one year only unless connected.

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.

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.

9 are going to St B?? Wow
Why is there no Collegiate on this list ?
Are people not as interested

This list covers 42 kids! I am guessing the remainder (1-3 kids each) would be Collegiate, Trinity, Spence, and A-S? I am surprised Spence is not more popular.
Overall really excellent placement. They know what they are doing.

The difference is that All souls also ended up sending a decent number of kids to 2T - AS, Browning, CGPS etc - if you look at the list there are a lot of 2T or 3T schools on there. CCDS almost everyone got into TT. If your kid is smart/connected/lucky/etc they'll get into TT from anywhere, but the good feeders improve exmissions for the rest of the kids

This. You can list the TT co-ed that one sibling got into right alongside other schools where the bulk of your kids are headed and your list looks great. The list might look the same but the numbers are not the same. CCDS almost every kid got into a TT this year.

All Souls parent (who wishes we got into CCDS)

I keep seeing the comments like CCDS sent almost every student to a TT this year. If that’s true, wouldn’t that make it comparable to or even stronger than TT of TT schools like 92NY and Episcopal?

I can confirm the six from PCDS. You don’t have to trust me, but I know the kids.

Brearley incoming is 50-55 spots I think.

It's not that unusual. In my son's K class, 12 kids (24%) of 50 came from two preschools. Then there were two other preschools that each sent 3-4 - so 19 kids of 50 (38%) were from four preschools. The school upped their "diversity of preschools" by then taking only 1-2 kids/school for the remaining 31 spots.

My guess would be 92NY and WSMS

Agreed, this sounds like Episcopal & Brick. 92NY lags on SS boy and WSMS is in a completely different category.

Why WSMS in different category?

In general, WSMS' TT emissions is like this: about 10+T (3-5 new families), 6-9 D ( about half of them r new families), 2-3 HM (usually all new families), 4-6 Collegiate (usually 2-4 new families), 5-9 Brearley (usually 2-4 new families). But of course WSMS sends about 3-5 families to Chapin and Spence but these two schools are less popular than Brearley among WSMS parents. As you know, this year's K admission was a bloodbath, but WSMS still did pretty well with the new head. k-8 boy schools such as St.B are usually less popular among WSMS families. WSMS has a very good relationship with St. B.. The only k-8 boy school is kind of popular among WSMS parents. Pretty much no families applied to Buckley's this year. The only issue is that many families at WSMS only wanna get into T, D, Collegiate, B and HM (less popular than the other 4). The teachers and staff at WSMS are AMAZING and down to earth. The families are NOT flashy at all and very diverse. There are quiet a bit families whose kids choose to go to public K as well. Usually, 1-2 kids get into Hunter each year. Hope this helps.

How about other feeders?
