Sad not to get into WES

[Anonymous]

Anyone else out there? It was our first choice.

Did you get waitlisted? Where are you going instead?

[Anonymous]

Will this information allow you to be helpful to OP? Or are you just being nosy?

[Anonymous]

If wait listed, call them.

Why so mean?

[Anonymous]

Because I see this type of question very often, and I wonder if the posters really have something to add--in that case, I think it would be nice to explain why having this information would help them to be helpful/supportive. Sometimes I think people are just gathering information for their own purposes. Nothing wrong with that, but I think it can be done more sensitively when addressing someone who has posted because she is sad/disappointed.

The OP was a quick, not much info. The second was also quick and consistent.
Maybe someone else who did not get into WES is trying to see where others go?

If 20:58 meant to be helpful, I apologize. I guess I am touchy because I have been on the receiving end of this type of question, and sometimes it feels like the questioner is picking at a wound.

OK, I understand, but the word "nosy" is a bit much.
We were rejected from a lot of schools. Fortunately, we did not have a first choice. We saw pros and cons to all of them, so we could not get hurt. I guess we protected ourselves that way.
Any way, WES is comparable to many schools in that area (Norwood and St. Andrews). And to be honest, I have not heard a TON of positives about WES, like I've heard about the other two I mentioned. I also have not heard much negative about WES.

I am really sorry. However, if you love it and you were waitlisted, keep calling. We personally know a family who finally got in in August a few years ago.

OP call back even if you weren't wait listed. This economy is making a lot of people reconsider even after paying the deposit.

[Anonymous]

This is what I've heard, but frankly I don't see any evidence of it so far. I guess we'll see in June.

[Anonymous]

Look, we've put our deposit down, but if come June things don't look good, we'll forfeit the deposit and call the public school.
Now, we do not have a spot at WES.

Do families really do this? It seems that if families are making the deposit they would have thought through the finance piece before making such a huge decision.

Things are changing fast, in the next few weeks, who knows?
