we have gone ahead with vasant valley ; we felt it would be wrong to just believe in hearsay. If we are not satisfied with the experience at vasant valley, maybe we'll just move our child to another school next yr.

Seems like this discussion is happening on another planet. There is actually someone who has the privilege to choose between two of the topmost schools of Delhi. Someone who is confident to shift schools next year, at will.
Many parents will kill to be in your shoes. I wonder why someone like you needs opinions from this group.

dear abhinav, just like every other concerned parent who would want to give the best to their child, we also want to ensure our child goes to a school that is best suited to her (just like u want for ur child). of course, these schools are comparable and competing, so its a difficult decision for us; thats why the need for taking opinions from informed & experienced people.
P.S. FYI- not at all a privilege, dear. we are super-specialist surgeons who have slogged all life to get top ranks & international recognition & awards; & spent holidays volunteering with NGOs in natural calamities, thereby getting a place at vasant valley. also, we stay bang across mother's, thereby making it an obvious choice for our daughter.
Regarding shifting schools at will; well, being hard-working middle class people who've never given up despite the hurdles, we believe in the old saying "when there is a will, there's a way." We believe the attitude makes a huge difference.
P.S.S. if that makes u happy, I need to mention we applied to 42 schools, & got through 2. This is despite having moved residence twice in the past year, just to make sure our address helps our daughter; notwithstanding the professional & personal compromises we had to make in the process of relocating.

Dear Sir, happy to know that you are a fellow doctor (me also being one, slogging in so called the most reputed public hospital of the country). I also applied in 30 schools and somehow got in 1. People (colleagues) advised me to try for management seats in some other fancy school (by showing my achievements or paying donation) but i decided otherwise. The school my ward got in is closest to my home and is decent enough. So it fills my requirements.
My advice to you is that chose the school closer to your home. Mother's is one of the top schools. I am sure you would be knowing that if you want your daughter to become a doctor in our country, the school really doesn't matter (even the medical college doesn't matter now a days since anyone can buy seats from private medical colleges).

Also if you go through the comments of other parents of this group, don't you think most of them are helpless and frustrated? The least we can do is keep the news of our good fortune to our own. Just an advice. I never meant to offend you.
