- NYC Schools Dalton or Trinity for HS and why? TIA!
- Do you have this choice?
- Yes.
- I say Trinity. They take 60 kids in HS and have incredible facilities. What is dc into? What do they do school-wise?
- ^To add, it is not nearly as competitive as people say. My dc entered in 9th and made friends immediately, the HW load was surprising manageable. I know a lot about this as I had...(more)
- I say Trinity. They take 60 kids in HS and have incredible facilities. What is dc into? What do they do school-wise?
- Yes.
- that's a tough one
- Which is better and which is a nicer place?
- I don't think one is better than the other. I think at the HS level the better it depends on your kid. They have to try to talk to some students who go or have gone there
- Which is better and which is a nicer place?
- I'd say Trinity. It's the more coveted spot and you're entering with a large class.
- I will consider the commute...(more)
- In the same boat,trying to decide between the two. Wonder if Dalton will be hybrid or full in person next year.
- Do you have this choice?

- NYC Schools Brearley, Spence or Sacred Heart?...(more)
- Sacred Herat. Whats the GPA?
- - no subject -...(more)
- and probably a more nurturing place
- Brearley loves the poors
- This
- ANY school can be bargained with for financial aid. What they offer you is basically a first offer, and especially if you have choices, you should go to your first choice and tell...(more)

- #FreeBritney
- LEAVE BRITTNEY ALONE!
- lol
- LEAVE BRITTNEY ALONE!
- #FreeBritney
- They all will help and they all are great schools! Can't go wrong!
- How I would kill for that choice for dd
- Brearley.
- We go to one of the other 2 and would trade for Brearley in a heartbeat.
- Going into 9th grade? B
- ^^ has a sweet class.
- 9th
- Biased - but my kid's in 8th now and yeah, it's a nice group of girls.
- They are very different...(more)
- FWIW, Brearley and Sacred Heart are much more nurturing environments.
- B for math and science, SH for religious studies, Spence for balance
- Sacred Herat. Whats the GPA?

- This post has been disliked 4 times. How poor are you?
- Wow,congrats! What is your first choice ?
- Also idk about NYC privates but at college level you could take the 100% offer back to the 85% offer and they would likely match .
- This post has been disliked 3 times. Why would you send your dc to a place you can't afford without FA? Your dc will be a fish out of water.
- So envious! It’s not becoming
- It's a genuine question. I wouldn't want my kid to feel out of place.
- What experience do you have with FA students?
- This post has been disliked 3 times. None at all. My dc go to public. Enlighten me, please.
- DC has been going to public un D2 since K and multi millionaires in class, so going private is no big deal.

- Is the 15% tuition at Trinity a challenge for you? My DD is at Trinity, got in at 9th with FA. She really loves the school - challenged (but not high pressure cooker), made many...(more)
- See which one your kid feels most happy visiting.
- Trinity
- Smart kid!

- NYC Schools PolY Prep HS says DS is in 'small wait pool'? True, or everyone not admitted in the so-called 'small wait pool'?
- I don’t think everyone gets on the wait list
- No, not at all. DC very likely to get offer
- They all say that...(more)
- Packer's doesn't. Just that they had a record number of applications and had to put DS in the wait pool.
- Poly always uses this language...(more)
- NYC Schools Does everyone who is not admitted to NYC private high school get waitlisted? Or is anyone rejected?
- we just got rejected from trinity.
- Sorry. it's always a tough school to get into
- people definitely get rejected.
- from Brooklyn schools?
- Yes, a few friends's DC's were rejected from Packer last year.
- from Brooklyn schools?
- 3 years ago, rejected by all except 3. 2 WL (didn't move) and 1 accept.
- was the 1 a good fit?
- Went to an SHS. TBH, dc didn't really interview well. Good ISEE scores but they're looking for a bit more at the HS level.
- was the 1 a good fit?
- They do reject...(more)

- when did you hear from riverdale? we haven't yet.
- ^guessing that means we are not in
- What grade and where'd you live?
- ^where do
- 9th - UES (above 86)
- Let DC decide, unless you have a huge objection to that choice.
- what does your dc want?
- he wants city school, but i feel like friends is a 3T school
- so is fieldston.
- good point. i think friends is at same level as fieldston, but fieldston is a campus school
- I don't know enough about Friends to say for sure. But if it were me, I'd pick riverdale.
- Riverdale and Fieldston are more prestigious than Friends for sure.
- disagree. friends is as good as riverdale
- good point. i think friends is at same level as fieldston, but fieldston is a campus school
- i mean i think for high school your kid should get a vote.
- I would pick Fieldston
- so is fieldston.
- he wants city school, but i feel like friends is a 3T school
- btw- that is an amazing feat getting in to all three
- i feel like if you get into one, you get into them all. arent the applicants exactly the same?
- yes but there are limited spots so not so easy
- i feel like if you get into one, you get into them all. arent the applicants exactly the same?
- I have heard that Friends is a grind. Way too much homework.
- i think that is good for dc
- the Hill schools are more prestigious
- Friends is really small compared to Riverdale/Fieldston. Also, 80% of the kids at Riverdale/Fieldston live in Manhattan (or something like that) so I think in many ways it is the...(more)
- what about dwight englewood? thats campus?
- To me, having to go over the GW bridge is just so different than a school where you could take the 1 train. Plus, most kids at DE live in NJ, not manhattan so it greatly changes...(more)
- what about dwight englewood? thats campus?
- Riverdale. Fieldston is not in a good place right now and Friends isn't as good academically or extra curricularly
- when did you hear from riverdale? we haven't yet.

- NYC Schools If a private school offers you a spot off wait list do you have to accept it right away or do you have time to think?
- Usually it’s pretty quic. Like 24 or 48 hours. Can’t remember
- i'm sure there's an expiration date that they'll tell you
- They typically give you a very short window to decide
- you have a little bit of time to think, but it's like a couple days (or week at the absolute longest)
- NYC Schools How do WL works? Do you have to accept right away?
- for what kind of school? when specialized hs results come in, there is movement
- private
- for hs? or elementary?
- middle school. i dont want to accept right away becuase I am waiting on another school.
- sorry, that's one area i don't know much about.
- The contract will have deadline for accepting a spot
- I think they usually give you a very short window to accept. You’ll have to decide whether to decline and risk not getting the preferred one.
- you can always call the other school and tell them you got in somewhere else, have X time to decide, bu prefer them - may not work, but worth a shot
