From my experience, they are notified!

I can tell you, 100%, HoS are notified. I know this to be true 100%

Good luck, everyone today. Does anyone know if we don't get a letter in the mail today does that mean you aren't accepted?

Letters are being mailed today per the portal so I would say no. You may not get a letter until next week. You can check the portal tomorrow and defections will be there.

Why would administrations at applicants’ current schools know this?

Private schools have a vested interest in making sure their kids are placed. You can’t be serious asking this question?

No one wants to pay $50k to be shut out. Let’s be honest, part of the perks of being in a private school is this very reason.

Well, got an interview, it went well. Got WL’ed.

Thankfully got in other places. We are also not Catholic and are coming from a public so knew it was a bit of a long shot.

We got an interview but didn't get in. Coming from a public school.

I’m one of the PPs who had a good interview where they seemed to indicate we would get in. My kid was accepted. It’s in my kid’s top 2 so we’re debating and will attend the admitted family events before we decide. We’re full pay, not catholic and coming from a non-catholic private.

Same as well. Are you also trying to decide between Benilde and Ryken?

Great interview and my child got in. We will accept as I have heard from other former parents that this program is a game changer.
