[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Again, sadly WL acceptances are a long shot. Schools manage to a yeild BEFORE the waitlist, so they often make numbers even aftre all the declines are in.  People turning down spots does not mean that a school goes to the WL (at least for competitive years/schools). Schools go to the WL when they have more declines than projected.

I wishe everyone on the WL a well and happy outcome, but I think people should be realistic and not sit by the phone after contracts are due assuming someone is getting a call. It just doesn't work that way... sadly...[/quote]

Are you the same person who keeps poring this over and over again? Why are you so bent on discouraging people. You come off as smug.

OP, here is the truth: I know kids who got off WL at Maret last year, who have gotten off WL at Beauvoir, and at Sidwell . I also know several families who will be turning down one school in a few days, and my circle is kinda small. These schools will be calling a couple folks. I hope it's your DC . Good luck, but yes as I said earlier on another thread, focus your energy on plan B, it will be a healthy diversion, and maybe a productive one. [/quote]
