I've heard 2nd half is much easier to get into than first.
My niece didn't get in first half even though she has an older sister that went. They offered her a spot for second half

I never got a scholarship, not sure what you need to qualify. But it still costs less than other camps I looked into. The market is crazy.

Its about 300 less than other easily googleable by camps.
The only camp I'd call affordable (if it even affordable!!!) Is bnos ruach chaim which is 1k less.than cby

In the youngest grades it’s easier to get it. Girls in dd’s grade (9th) were told not to even try applying this year they just won’t have spots.

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone knows if CBY sent out acceptance letters yet and/or when that will be for first timers?!

TIA

Just got our rejection letter tonight…
Why is it that an excellent, well behaved, sweet, fun girl doesn’t get in, just because she doesn’t have pull?

Because there's simply no room.
