From a successful middle school applicant family today:
Emily,
I hope you are well. We wanted to share the good news that <Child> has been accepted to both <top Brooklyn> and <top Manhattan school> for the coming year. At this point, <top Manhattan school> feels like the strongest fit for <Child>, and he is genuinely excited about continuing his education there. We share his enthusiasm.
Thank you for your guidance, perspective, and counsel throughout this process. Your insight helped us think clearly and act deliberately at each stage.
As we mentioned on one of our calls, this process has made us see <Child> in a different light. We’re even more proud of his hard work and who he is becoming.
It has been a pleasure working with you, and we are very grateful for your support.
Warmly,
<Parents>
