This is our dilemma. Can mothers of daughters in any of these schools please tell me the strong and weak points of each and what type of girl does best there so that I can make a just decision as to which place is truly best for my daughter. I know a lot about each, I'd like to hear from the trenches as I'm struggling with a decision as each place has different concerns for me. Thank you.
I prefer not to write about my daughter as I don't think I can justly describe her in two lines and don't want to get across a wrong impression of her so as not to be advised wrongly. She is a candidate for each place though.

My DDs go to neither, so excuse me for responding, but when oldest DD was applying, she had a very tough interview at Bnos Elisheva - they asked her very probing, deep and thought provoking questions, and she just wasn't equipped to answer. She is shy and not so assertive and self-confident.

Anyway, after this, a friend told me that the kind of girl that Bnos Elisheva is looking for, is the very assertive, self-thinking, forward type. And had she tried Yashan, she would have gotten further. They're looking for much more run-of-the-mill, regular girls.

I'm happy if someone wants to correct, but that's what I was told.
(And this friend also told me that Chadash is more similar to Bnos Elisheva from that point of view.)
