Hey Ren,
I'm a bit of an expert on the NYC admissions nightmare. (My son was also rejected by Hunter after the second round.) I don't want to scare you, but I'm sure you're aware that admission to the two citywides is now basically a lottery among kids who score 99% on the OLSAT? Do you have a backup plan?

So, yes we have options in NYC but it's a crap shoot.

BTW my son now goes to the school that's second on your list, and it's not working out at all. I don't know what your child is like, but these are no places for bouncy boys! Really, what is your child like? Because the citywides are pretty rigid.

Good luck!
