My Daughters Guidance Counselor never gave us the book with the new schools opening in 2009, so they were never considered on her application. Since we had no choice but to look into them in the second round, we found a school that met both our needs (Academics and Performing arts) and in our neighborhood. After visiting the school fair, we were convinced this was by far the best choice and today we received the news that she got in. I still believe the process is very unfair, but in a twist of fate it has worked out for the best for us.

Where did your child end up after the supplementary round? Are you planning to appeal? Do you think this system is working? Any interest in the new school fair? mhb2122@columbia.edu Thank you!
