14:57, that answers my question. We feel the same way and that's one of the reasons we chose Beauvoir.

Sorry PP. Can your DC do PK at your current preschool and apply again next year?

As you wrote, this is disappointing. Don't forget to call or send notes early next week and reiterate, in as warm of a way as you can, why this school is such a good fit for your family and why your family is a good fit for the school. You want them to have a good, or at least a familiar, feeling if they turn to the wait list. Also, find out what the wait lists means for each school. Some schools it is just a pleasant rejection. Others really do turn to their wait lists in the coming weeks as double admitteds make decisions.

W/L Maret and Holton
Reject: Sidwell

Very sad about the w/l at Holton

Sometimes the wait list has movement. I think last year a few slots weren't settled until the summer. Norwood is a great school and the kids seem very happy and exmissions are good.

Results are in:
6th Grade

Accepted: St. Alban's, Maret
Waitlisted:Sidwell
GDS called still haven't made a decision on DC yet?


What is your first choice?

What are the chances for getting off the waitlist at Sidwell for that grade?

Where is DC in school now? Any chances for OOB in your school system?

rather not say, but it is considered a very good school. OOB? it's not just our public school that is awful, it's the entire public school system. plan b is to apply at privates that have late application.
