The end of January is a time of waiting for the many parents with children applying to NYC Private Schools. After dotting all the Is and crossing all the Ts there is little else to do other than wait for the upcoming wave of acceptance letters. Of course, there is also the wave of rejection letters and much dreaded wait-listed letter that leaves you in a state of Private School Limbo.
Application Complete
Once you have made sure that your child’s application is complete and you and your child have successfully navigated the open houses, interviews and tests, you can begin to really ponder what it means to wait.
Remember that stellar test scores and transcripts do not directly translate to an undulating wave of acceptance letters. Private schools and prospective students are successful when they find a good match within each other. This match, or lack of one, is usually the deciding factor if all other results such as test scores were highly desirable. A “good match” is a pretty subjective idea, and so without a concrete assigned numerical value attached to it, like the value that accompanies test scores, the matching scenario can be a struggle to comprehend. There are no guarantees.
If you and your child have made the knowledgeable decision to apply to multiple NYC Private Schools then you have increased the likelihood of your child finding that right Private School Match. While some schools may decline your child’s application, by looking at a number of schools that share your family’s educational philosophy your child has a greater chance of being matched with the school that will further his or her education and future.
