Being on the waitlist does not necessarily mean that the school would like to admit the child. Oftentime waitlist = soft rejection. So perhaps Norwood (and other schools) have exhausted their waitlist from the sense that they have actually admitted those from the waitlist that they really wanted. |

| That may be the case, but it really underlines the dishonesty of the practice. Also, we were told at Norwood that the wait list was "real." (Of course, I have yet to hear a school rep say that his/her school's waitlist is a fiction, even though many seem to be just that.) |

| PP here: We are not on the wait list, BTW, so I don't know what the school is or is not doing. |

| Does anyone know how many spots they have open? |

| There seems to be so much confusion about waitlists, schools are accepting late applications and available spots- why don't people just call these schools.I think that the entire admissions process is constantly in flux and it is best to get your information directly from the source. |

| All the AD's seem to be reading these posts, why do they answer select questions and not all? |

| Didn't you get an email from them recently asking if you want to remain on the wait list? |

| When did you get the email, what did it say and who was it from, I never got it? |

| I think you should just call/email Shelly J. and ask her to update you on the status of the waiting list. She's very nice. |

| I never got an email either, when did you get it? |

| Does anyone know when this went out and what it said and has anyone gotten in off the Sidwell waitlist? |

| It asked if we would like to stay on the wait list. It was a week or two ago. |

| Call the school and ask. I've found Shelly to be very straightforward. |
