[quote=Anonymous]My child applied to four schools that go thru 12th grade for middle school out of a great K-6.  The four schools were 2 most competitive (Xs) and 2 slightly less competitive (Ys).  Current school approved each school we were applying to as extremely compatible with child's academics and other interests.

Our child was considered by current school as a top "exmissions" candidate.  They firmly believed all 4 schools would want child.  We liked all 4 schools but ranked them according to in what order we would accept (1X, 2Y, 3X, 4Y).  Current head told us he would be having frank discussions which each school about level of our family's (child's) interest.

Interestingly our child was accepted at our top two choices (1X and 2Y) wait listed at the bottom two choices (3X and 4y).  So, results were exactly per our ranking but not necessarily logical if you ascribe to the whole ""big 3" vs. "next 4-6" theories.  Yes, this could be a coincidence but it is at least interesting enough to consider that maybe the schools do have some kind of rationale for who is accepted and who is wait listed everything if else about the candidates being equal.[/quote]
