[quote=Anonymous]Hello, Our 8th grader was put on the waitlist at Burke for 2022-2023. Two weeks ago Burke asked for his most current grades. Honestly, this past two quarters haven not been oir child's best in terms of grades. He has typically been a good student (did very very well last year virtually, and also in 6th grade) though, and works hard. He attends a public middle school in Bethesda and got great teachers' recommendations. He is pretty bummed that he still has not heard anything back from Burke, and wants to email them to ask them to reconsider their decision to hopefully get a spot. This is new territory for us. I dont even know if he even has a chance to get in. Of course I do think he should write if that is what he wants to do, but any thoughts on what to say? How should he address this with the admissions committee? Should we (the parents) also send anything ourselves? Thanks so much for any input. [/quote]
