Many parents of children applying to NYC Private Schools find themselves adrift in an endless sea of information and paperwork. It doesn’t take long before applications and appointments start to meld together into one very long process. The hard part of the October Private School season is actually keeping track of the right information from the right schools.
The best way to keep track of each school, where you are in the admissions process, and what is happening next is by using a simple spreadsheet. All of the most important, fact-based information available for your top school choices will be ready at your fingertips if you just take a little time to stay organized at the beginning.
No matter how much a specific school has your eye, chances are that in the process, you’ll forget who you send applications to, when the open house is or who needs what reference letter.
