This school today spent an hour getting to know the kids (which I think is really awesome), but I don&#8217;t know how they compare Amelia (2.5 years old) with kids who are older (some who just missed the cut-off, and so are almost 3.5 years old). I know they know, but the fact that I don&#8217;t is unnerving.<\/p>\n<p>There are a few other schools in the hopper as well. One of them is blind admission, and so it&#8217;s 100% based on the essay we wrote.<\/p>\n<p>If my college admissions rate is an indicator there, then poor Amelia \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s hard too because wherever she ends up, there&#8217;s almost a certainty that Luka is there as well. I don&#8217;t love that scenario because I do think he&#8217;d be better off at his own school, but the logistics of it are awful.<\/p>\n<p>So fingers crossed today went well.
