If competitive private schools have open slots now

[Anonymous]

What does it mean? They weren’t able to fill slots? Are limited slots more competitive than a regular cycle?

All privates leave spots open for kids coming on family moves from reputable privates in other cities.

Which ones have open spots? We are coming for a family move and need one.

We got into and accepted such a spot. We were already local, no move involved, but we explained the reason for our late application. I assume they were just more excited about our overall student and family profile than some of their declines or (I assume) waitpool candidates.

I think the only way to know is to start calling and asking.

It means that your child has something that they felt was missing from that class.

May I ask what rationale you provided?

I know my kid’s class has a spot because one student recently decided not to reenroll (later than the usual deadline) due to a move.

No, just kids who are a good fit who through no fault of their own had to move.

Some schools have said they'd leave an empty seat before admitting a student they felt could not manage the curriculum. And they can afford to do that. Similarly, they will add space for a student who is a good fit no matter when they apply. Usually these schools advertise having rolling admissions.

When someone says "code for ...." you can assume they don't know what they are talking about.
