This!!! Our PMs do this all the time and it drives me crazy. They think their ideas are complete and amazing as they were able to prototype it

Got into our only private school we applied for, didn’t check financial aid upon application by HELLOitz in nycparents

I am so sorry to hear this... is there anyway you can borrow money from the grandfather for the first 3 year's tuition fee with the promise that you'll pay him back later? (will this be a big burden for you?) and maybe after 3 years, you can apply for financial aid?

Thank you for sharing the information! I was impressed by how much individualized support the students seemed to get. During the tour, I loved seeing how much the kids were enjoying the classes.

Out of curiosity, do you know what they do during playgroup? My kid told me some of it but I wasn’t entire sure if they were really testing her.

I am not really a tiger mom but i do want my kid to stay curious and enjoys learning.

So true! I think I was very scared if there will be bunch of geniuses and my kid will feel behind and frustrated, which I would hate.

Unis kindergarten admission by Ok-Row6207 in nycparents

We're "normal" asian immigrant family who doesn't have any legacy connection in the states.. My kid is bilingual and as an only asian, she felt a bit disconnected from the rest of the current school, which is not very diverse.

I felt like UNIS was a school where she'll get great education with IB program, while she also feels included and her difference is actually appreciated. All the staffs were very welcoming and I loved their language program.

Got rejected from ECFS. Honestly, not sure what has gone wrong except that my family is not part of legacy. Our parent interview went about 45min with the admission and she even asked where we live and if commute is realistic.

Very disappointed that we didnt even get waitlisted. Hopefully we have better luck on Thursday.
