no did you or someone you know? how to know if they are really interested in you or if you are just one of many on the waitlist (for gds or beauvoir)? i heard the ad of beauvoir is married to the ad of gds. is that true?

Oh come on, not my post, but I thought it was funny. We can all use a reminder to lighten up now and then.

Can you please tell me what is so special about Maret that it is so popular?

I posted it as a joke... I just remember in HS/college/single days always trying to read between the lines of notes passed in class, emails, and VM's. Sometimes it just is what it is.

I think Maret's popularity is based, at least in part, on the fact that it is one of the only K-12 schools in the District. Lots of people want to apply to a school and then not have to worry about going through the application process again until College. Maret also has a wonderful campus and a strong faculty.

We were waitlisted for first grade at Maret. Got a handwritten note, which I thought was a courtesy... I still assume it's a very, very long shot!

No the head of the school is married to the head of GDS.

We were waitlisted (for K) and did not get a heandwritten note. You must be the true waitlist. Are you the same poster whose child was wailisted with a sibling at Burgundy? Any progress?

Congratulations, really. That is exciting even if the waitlist is not likely to move. It's a real invitation to apply again if nothing else. I am sooooooooooo embarassed now by how much time and energy I spent last summer "waitlisted by Maret" and thinking what an unusual position that was and surely something would move.

Ahh, to be not so young and very naive and a schmuck.
