[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]another wait list question (maybe I should put this one in a subject line): the past two years, Hearst PK4 wait list offers jumped from a handful to over 50 each year. Any idea why? Or if this pattern might repeat itself? [/quote] Because parents in bound with Hearst tend to put their kids in private. They try public just in case they don’t get the spot in the private schools they like. [/quote] For PK4, you also have IB families whose first choice is Hearst but their backup choice is private. If they don’t get an offer at Hearst by the time tuition is due, many will decline the PK4 spot because they can’t get the tuition back and they can go to Hearst by right for K. So when a few kids don’t show up in the fall, the number of offers a school like Hearst has to make for each seat can be quite high, especially if they’re making offers into late September. [/quote]
