[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is really helpful.

I have another question. Let us say if you are accepted in a program that is your DC's 3rd choice program and you are on wait pool or waitlist on your DC's 1st and 2nd choice program. 
If your DC accept the 3rd choice program, will your DC be removed from wait pool/wait list for 1st and 2nd choice programs?

There are 10 or 11 programs and there are several scenarios such as the above one that could occur when you receive a letter. This will drive students crazy.

[b]We wonder why MCPS makes it so difficult for children to pursue the programs that they would like to pursue based on merits and performance data.

If anyone can share their experience and how they tackled these situations will he helpful for other parents who are navigating this for the first time.

Because there are only so many program spaces and a lot more students.  This is good practice for students and you for what college application and decisioning could be like.

This isn’t really that difficult.  You apply.  If you’re accepted you decide if you want to attend.  If you’re waitlisted you decide if you want to remain in the waitlist pool.
If you’re accepted somewhere and waitlist somewhere else, again tou decide if you want to accept and/or remain in waitlist pool.[/quote]
