[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter got off the waiting list. That year one of my child was admitted and the other wait listed. I immediately enrolled the one who was admitted (as this was the top choice for the child waitlisted and the admitted child was too young to care). Then, I made sure to tell the school the following things: 1) I wanted to keep the kids together if possible. 2) The school was the waitlisted child's first choice and we would take a slot if one became available. 3) The school was a top choice for our family because it aligned with our values and what I wanted for my children's education (which was an extra bonus because my child loved the school). We got the call on the day contracts were due telling us that they could offer the second child a spot. The child who was waitlisted is doing really well at the school and it ended up being great. Had they not gotten off the waitlist, we likely would have tried a few years later in another entrance year, but glad we didn't have to do that. [/quote]

Exciting! Great strategy [/quote]
