[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WL at Sidwell for pre-K.  The WL letter said to call the admissions office around 4/02 for possible openings.  Should we contact the admissions office sooner or wait till 4/02 to make the call?[/quote]

They ask YOU to call them, OMG that is rude. If a spot becomes available they should graciously call you. What are you supposed to do , kep calling and hope that they pick up? [/quote]

This is actually a good way for them to assess who on the WL is truly interested and not waste their time calling people. It's another hoop to jump through but when you have the volume of applicants they do all weeding options help. [/quote]

Above poster: please explain why it is a "waste of time" for some one who is earns a salary to call parents who are patiently waiting and have expressed their interest. A school that takes this view is its own worst enemy in my view. Unless, of course you want a school FULL of envelop pushers. Is that the purpose of the "screening" ?[/quote]

Because my guess is that they have responsibilities that include but are not limited to calling and following up with parents. Of the four schools we were waitlisted at, one had us set up a time to call them and the three others called us when we moved off the list. [/quote]
