[quote=Anonymous]I imagine there will be some waitlist movement at almost every school. No school is going to have 100% yield. Yes, some schools will have admitted extra children to "manage to yield." But for the competitive schools with small classes (like Sidwell, GDS, or Maret), I'm guessing they will not offer admission to any more than their planned class size at first. For example, if GDS plans on a PK class of 24, it cannot send out 26 acceptances without running a risk that it will be oversubscribed when 25 of 26 say yes. So the school will just accept 24 in the first wave, and then pull others from the waitlist as needed. Beauvoir might offer more acceptances, because of the comparatively large number of children it enrolls (60+ in PK). With that many children, it's reasonable to offer admission to 65 and assume at least 5 will decline. I've got no inside info, so consider ignoring me, but that's my commonsense view on how the schools probably approach it.[/quote]
