[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do you care?[/quote] Their kid is on the waitlist and they are grasping.[/quote] Actually, my DC got into both Eastern and TPMS, but we’re thinking of turning down the spots and wondering if that’s crazy or unusual. [/quote] It’s not crazy or unusual given the new process. When there was a more involved application process, most people who applied were dying to go. Now many people get in who are somewhat indifferent, and also many kids get into both programs. As a result, fewer of the original admitted students have been choosing to attend, and more kids ultimately get in from waitlist and appeals. If you’re happy with your home school and haven’t been dying for something else, then no it’s not crazy to turn down the spots - particularly if you are far away and DC is happy with neighborhood friends.[/quote]
