We're waitlist #6 for 6th grade.
Any shot? |

| The 6th grade list is definitely is by elementary. But is that true for the 7th or 8th grade waitlist? |

5 people at your child’s school need to turn it down first before you would get in. |

Same. I was shocked. Don’t know what we’re gong to do. |

Why does my 6th grader show up twice? One entry says “cancelled” and the other has a wait list #. Was his application drawn and then somebody cancelled it? My 9th grader only has a waitlist #; 1 entry. |

Does this happen? Does anyone on the waitlist get in at all? How long do people have to make their decision? |

Same for my 6th grader. It's weird. |

I would say your odds are low personally. I would also look at how many slots your school have. If there are only 2 slots... then the 2 kids who were offered spots must both decline, the next two #1 and #2 on WL must decline, the next two after them #3 and #4 need to decline which will bring up slots 5 and eventually 6. not good odds. |

Not good odds. A couple of years ago, the #1 kid on the waitlist at our elem school got in because 1 kid turned down his slot. That's as far as it went. Things sometimes move more a year or two later if a kid decides to leave HB, but now there's a brand new waitlist every year so your original wait list # is irrelevant. |

Not much hope, but mine is #15 for 10th grade.
Odds more than a dozen current kids move/ new kids withdraw their spot? Last year we were over 100, so this seems low, but remind me to let this GO! #Elsa |

How does the HS waitlist work now with the new transfer policy? Is it by middle school or is the HS list county wide? |
