Nah, I think a lot of people get the “too many siblings and legacies” talk from PSDs early in the game, which probably scares a lot of people out of applying.
For K? I don't know if the events of this past year have changed things, but in a regular year, I'm sure it's Dalton. A co-ed, K-12 school in Manhattan which actually takes a lot of new kids for K. TT but progressive and known to be the least "pressure cooker" of the TTs with the least counsel out culture.
PP: And I think how they handled this year is appalling, but as a general matter, a lot of the Dalton trash talk is sour grapes (and this is true of many schools-- you don't see it as much of Trinity because people don't apply in K as someone said above). Even this year, I noticed that some of the people who said they didn't like Dalton were the same people posting that they got negative feedback.
100% correct. Spurned lover attitude is oh so strong with K admissions. Every school that dings your DC is terrible, and the one you end up with was your FC all along.
Dalton. Trinity’s 2018-19 annual report says 640 applications that year for k. I’d have to bet that Dalton gets closer to 750+ but I can’t find their annual report online.
@Anonymous Dalton’s or Trinity’s? Both are impressive, although to the extent people are looking at his when applying to K (which they shouldn’t be, but who are we kidding), the lists for the schools that double in size in HS (T, HM) are a bit misleading. Trinity also doesn’t disclose raw numbers, not sure why that is, as they have nothing to hide.
Probably Trinity?

Dalton too I would

Trinity. They don’t have raw numbers directly on the website but the Annual Report lists the matriculation for the class of 2019.
