    • We were waitlisted. Told there are next to no spots for 1st. Only if you are big, big $$ or celebrity. Too many sibs enter at 1st.

          • We were told no boy spots, too. My understanding is that they do have some spots for girls though for first. Who knows?

            • So why they interview boys for the 1st grade? They should say no spot and send a check back.

              • If you already applied for K you don't have to pay to apply for first so I can't comment on sending a check back.

                  • Oh. That sucks. And then they told you that they didn't have any spots after the fact?

                    • np: That is their MO. Last year over 400 families applied for K paying $150 each. Turns out they had less than 10 spots (total) after sibs. They knew that going in to the process.

                        • 400 x $150 = $60,000? why not? we let them take our money, knowing that our odds are nil.

    • I know 2 people who were encouraged to reapply for 1st Grade at S.A. after being w/led for K. Neither were accepted for 1st either.
