Yes, you are right about those two.

But not Vien or Sanz. And Bais Rochel gives attitude for ppl that dont have $$

It must be nice to have money and automatically gain entry to places others can only dream of. So is Bais Rochel considered the elite?

Supposedly yes. When I registered my girls, they asked for very much tuition, triple the amount than other chassidish schools. And people dissuaded me from sending there because there was politics going on. I think asking for a lot of money is a nice way of giving a no.

Keep in mind though that Chassidish tuitions are generally half of litvish tuitions, maybe even less

I don't even consider them elite. Old school teachers, and packed classrooms.. Some of the girls have issues and pressures that exists in other schools the same. Yet money is more tempting to the hanholo than feelings to yiddishe neshamos. They have no problem turning you away.

Back in the day BR used to be this warm school that accepted all types- litvish, chassidish, BTs...
But that changed big time...

Bais Rochel is a chassidish school.

Right. This is why people dissuaded me from sending there. They had some issues in classes going on then as well as politics.

No school is perfect but some have more issues than others.

OP, honestly, I don't think you'll get an application for the school just by calling them. Maybe they'll say that they're sending you one and you'll keep wondering where the application is.

For goodness sake, I couldn't get an application for a day camp for my dd before I was 'prescreened'. Sorry, but I think this is the matzav. Try to see if you can find someone that sends to any of the schools mentioned above that they can put in a good word for you, to just 'get' an application. Hatzlocha and good luck and I hope that you don't get burned in the process.

I honestly think it’s ppl that are disgruntled (and got rejected whether legitimately or not) that promote this money rumor. I know lots of ppl that send to BR and most are barely comfortable financially. The richer you are the harder you have to work to get in actually- I’m the most financially comfortable in my family and couldn’t get in, my siblings did get their girls in, they’re in learning and poorer and therefore they assume automatically frummer. Other families I know have the same patterns.

Why would people send to a school they don't fit into? I only know of 1 school that asks for money.
I do know that there are people that offer a donation after their kids get accepted, not before. I aslo know of a family that was trying to get accepted to my girls school, they offered a lot of money and still got rejected.

This is as old as the hills! Of course it's true that if you show a green dollar sign the doors open, you don't have to be a conspiracy theorist to believe that!

It's not the schools problem that people that don't fit in there want to send there. It's the parents problem. They're hung up on getting into certain schools for the name even if the school is not the right fit for the family. Plenty schools reject people that offer money because they're not the right fit for the school.

Um, look around every school and tell me if every family is a good 'fit'.
Every school has several fallouts. In reality, if one abides and keeps the school's rules, then it should be enough. But it's not.

I also know two friends that tried BR. Both were rejected (no room, no room) but the cooler one eventually got in. She told me her rich relative called on her behalf and promised a large sum.
Two friends, same time, same class.

Applications many do send, but then they give you a no.

Daycamp is a different story.
