[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our daughter is on the Sidwell 9th grade WL.  She would be thrilled if it came together but not expecting it.  We put a deposit at another school.[/quote]

Fingers crossed for you.  Sidwell Friends School is literally known to be the best day school in the USA.

At the same time, I'd try to embrace your choice number two at this point for your child's sake.  He/her/they may embrace the school more if you seem enthusiastic.   In other posts on DCUM I've read that Sidwell contracts were due at 9:00 on the 17th and waitlist spots offered at 9:15 sharp...

Again fingers crossed; You never know maybe a family will suddenly need to move to some other state or something..[/quote]
What in the world? Is it just one crazy posting things like this over and over or are multiple people spouting nonsense? Sidwell is a fine school but not any better than several other local privates and doesn’t hold up to the top New England schools and is definitively not better than the top CA schools.

OP it’s not a waitlist like a pool where they go to the top and that spot moves. If/when a spot opens, they fill it with something comparable so say girl who is good at music or whatever it is. There is always movement when contracts were due, some when boarding school waitlists shift around and then some when a larger deposit is due in June. Take the Walls spot but that is still a slim chance there will be more movement in june[/quote]
