In NYC (don't know where you are), it is very, very difficult (has gotten even more difficult in recent years) for summer birthdays to be accepted into private schools for kindergarten to begin the September after they turn 5. It can happen for girls, but almost never for boys.
The ongoing schools and preschools make it a point to say that it is never (well, rarely, I guess) because the kids aren't ready intellectually.
