Is it possible to switch schools next year?

Applying to College
1

<p>I’m not sure where to post this question, but does anyone know anything about private school admissions? I just began thinking about switching to a private school next year but many of the schools’ websites specify that applications must be in by January… Is it impossible for me to attend a private school next year?</p>

<p>A good one in CT would be highly unlikely, but there are lots of average private schools that may have openings.</p>

<p>I see on another thread you mention GA. That won’t happen, schools like that have a long, long wait list. they also require testing and girls they take have very high grades (or VERY rich daddies or both).</p>

<p>Oh, how do you know about GA? Darn, I’d love to go there.</p>

4

<p>Also - do you know of any other good private schools near Greenwich that may still have openings?</p>

<p>You might check Greenwich Catholic. Not in the same league as GA or Country Day but lots of kids who don’t make it into those end up there.</p>

<p>I’m Jewish, haha. Don’t think I’d be comfortable there, but thanks!</p>

<p>My dad’s pretty rich, not millionaire-rich and I have good grades. Do you think I should still just call GA? I’m veryyyy interested in attending.</p>

<p>Maybe look at boarding schools? Lot of Fairfield County kids do that too. Is money an issue? Do you want all girls?</p>

<p>You can call, but the chances are so remote…many influential residents of Greenwich have been banging down their door for years and remain outside the gate.</p>

<p>By the way, were you referring to Rye Country Day?</p>

<p>Hmm… maybe. That’s a big change. Money probably is an issue. I have no preference.</p>

<p>Greenwich or Rye, they both have long lists.</p>

<p>You could definitely find a spot at a boarding school, coed or all girl. They are about the same price as a private college, $50Kish. Though many parents willing to pay for a GA will be OK with this as they probably pay more to feed and entertain you than the cost difference.</p>

<p>Thanks! I think that Greenwich Country Day only goes up to middle school. Do you know anything about Hopkins School or is there a forum on here about private schools?</p>
