Is it too late to be holding out for a school that waitlisted a child?

[Anonymous]

Possible? yes. Likely? no.

There are always some families who don't make up their minds until the contracts become binding on June 1. There are sometimes unexpected moves as late as August that result in an open spot. Not a huge chance but not zero, either. I know families who got off the waitlist in August.

Never hurts to call and express continuing interest.

Okay. Thank you.

Do you have other options? Love the school that loves you. Find ways to be excited about the other doors that can open for your child. There will be other benefits.

Don't be ridiculous. Everyone knows that 42 is the answer to everything.

42 slots open tomorrow. Who knows what schools and grades though.

I can’t believe I got that so wrong. 🤣 Please don’t take away my Douglas Adams fan club membership!

Soo....Was it too late, OP??

Gonzaga and Maret… Both opened up spots last week. I would say these middle level student focused schools will continue to open up some spots. Gonzaga for the sports and Maret for the location.

How knowledgeable you are in “middle level student focused schools” and their covert releasing of spots.

I know one of the two schools intimately and know that you’re incorrect. This, presumably should be been obvious based on the general incoherence of your post.

“Gonzaga for the sports and Maret for the location.”

What does this mean?

I think OP means based on grades and "status". For most Maret is not the first choice for an ace student. Gonzaga does not need A's to get in. Let's not get into this again. Geez. You sound very touchy and sensitive.

I know one (Maret) intimately too. And the class my kid is in is not the brightest group. But they are rich!
