I think all you can do is wait and let them know if offer to spot you would accept assuming that’s the case.
Keep in mind, Sidwell does indeed send regrets, so the waitlist is purely a waitlist, not a combination of a waitlist and polite regrets. For that reason, there is a real chance for you |

Thank you. Does anyone know how many children are waitlisted? |

| You could send them an email stating that Sidwell is your first choice, and if offered a spot, you will enroll. That could potentially move you up a couple spots. Good luck! |

Sidwell has a wait pool. It's not a ranked list. |

| You have 14 more years to apply and get into Sidwell. Tell them you'll take a spot, move on, try again for K. |
