[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We got waitlisted at Sidwell, GDS, and St Albans. No waitlist movement at all and we even had our DS send a letter every month with updates. Once we realized that the waitlist thing is a joke, we applied to a few other schools. These schools have waitlists, but still told us they have space. We applied and were accepted at 2 schools. We’re shocked, but very happy that we have a place for our son. However, we now understand that at most schools the waitlist is definitely a soft rejection.[/quote] Curious where you applied for high school and were accepted after the deadlines this spring. [/quote] We applied to Landon, Georgetown Prep, and SJU. Don’t want to say where we got in for privacy reasons, but considering the fact that all of these schools have healthy waitlists, finding out that they still would not only consider our son but also get us a decision within a week was very telling about how this whole thing works.
