Many years ago, when my DC was a five-year old, we applied to the Big 3, and another private school, for kindergarten. DC is/was a wonderful person, intelligent, kind, caring, independent, funny, etc., etc. Their WPPSI score was in the 99%, and the visit days appeared to go well.

All of the Big 3 rejected DC, but the fourth school to which we had applied, accepted DC. DH and I did not dwell on it, except for a very brief day of disappointment, and we decided not to share the rejections or our momentary disappointment with DC at all. The school DC attended was a wonderful choice not only for DC, but for our family.

Fast-forward nine years. DC applied to only two high schools/upper schools, and both of them were Big 3. DC was admitted to both.

DC is a lovely and accomplished young adult, loved by their teachers, respected by their peers, one of the top 5 in their class. We are very grateful not only to the wonderful school DC attends now, but also to the wonderful school that accepted DC so many years ago and deserves great credit for the person they are.

When DC was admitted to high school, they mentioned for the first time since the k application process, "I applied to these schools for kindergarten and was not admitted?" I was surprised that DC remembered.

Please share the school DC attended, after being rejected. My DD was rejected from st pats and GDS pk. I need another option.
Thanks!

FWIW, here are the school spots that people reported as potentially likely to open to the waitlist. In other words, people were accepted at these schools, but plan to turn the spots down. I don't know how these schools operate; if they over-admit in anticipation of families turning them down, then these spots might not actually open the waitlist. But if they admit on a rolling basis to avoid oversubscription, these might translate to new spots. HTH. Sam2
