Accept the match. You'll stay on the wait lists at your higher ranked schools. If things shift this spring/summer you can change.

Can't find it and we have lots of waitlist numbers, would love to look at last year to know likelihood (PreK3), including IB #4 for Tubman PreK3 along with #51 at BMPV, #43 at Garrison, #42 at West.

I'd guess you're fine for one of those. Garrison went through to its post application list last year.

Waitlist # is 15-20 range at Stokes for K. Any chance?

What school was the match?

30's at DCB, stokes and inspired teaching for PK4. I still have to go register at each of these schools to stay on the waitlist? Any shot with these? Worth the trip to all 3 schools?

How much movement at the pk4 level at the HRCS? Into the high teens?

My understanding is you do not have to register at the school to stay on the waitlist. You just wait. If you get accepted, then you register.

Pretty sure no registration required unless you actually get in to one....

No. You only register if/when you match and accept the match.

If after you enroll, you get into a high ranked school off their wait list you register at that school and you will be unenrolled at match 1.

No way to predict.

For PK4: #63 at Capital City, in the 40s for Bancroft, Powell, Shepherd Shining Stars, Bridges, #89 at Hearst for PK4. Any hope for any of them, especially Capital City or Hearst?

For our #1 choice, my daughter has dropped from 103 on the original waitlist to 106 on the active waitlist. The results are an hour old. Any idea for what caused this three spot drop? We have no shot at the school; I'm just curious how the WL changed already.

Current cmi parent here. The expansion will only be a few seats per class, not adding a full class (so, maybe 6-10 total expansion spots, if approved).

Yeah me too! We just dropped one below on one of our waitlists. WTF what's up with that!??!
