[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Read the 10,000 previous threads on this. Please. Conventional wisdom: 1. Send a note indicating that it’s your first choice and that you’ll go if accepted. 2. It’s not a waiting list with “higher and lower” people ranked. It’s a pool. “Hey, we’re two girls and ideally URM short, let’s see what we’ve got.” 3. Assume that plan B is the path, whatever that is. A tiny percentage of people ever get off of waitlists - some schools more than others. It’s a nice way of saying that that for a school with 100 kids in 9th grade, of which, say, 30 are new, there were probably around 375 applications of which 37 were accepted and 100 waitlisted. It’s a long, long shot. [/quote] Is it ok that we didn’t send that note today? Should we wait until Monday? Or send that note tomorrow (Saturday)?[/quote]
