10 Steps to Admissions Success
If you grew up anywhere but New York City, the elaborate, time-consuming, and complicated process of getting your child into nursery school, middle school, or high school can seem absurdly complex: interviews, letters of recommendation, testing – none of which was required of me until I was applying to college. This process tracks with the acknowledged truth about living in New York City: things are tougher, but the rewards are bigger.
