[quote=Anonymous]WL is only relevant to next year.  You will have to re-apply for any following years.  And if you choose to do so, you'll have to navigate disclosing that fact to the school you're enrolled in at the time. If you re-apply every year, I do think that would be frowned upon by the current school.  My personal opinion is you're better off giving your child an opportunity to "bloom where they are planted" for a few years before considering an immediate "upgrade."

How difficult is it to accept a spot from a WL depends on the timing.  My recollection is that after you are admitted, you will very quickly have to put down a non-refundable deposit of about $1000 to hold your spot.  Then in June or July, you have to sign a tuition contract to pay the full year's tuition.  If you are admitted off the WL early before signing the tuition contract, you can forfeit the $1000 and switch schools.  But after signing the tuition contract, you are pretty much committed to that school (unless you want to pay two tuitions).
