[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For better or worse, we've gotten some positive vibes about a couple of waitlists. (Yes, I get that this means only that there's a possibility, blah blah). One of these is child's first choice, other would be better than the most preferred acceptance. Any suggestions on how to handle? Of course, if child gets off WL at first choice it's easy. Worry is second choice WL might call first. How to handle? Can one buy some time reasonably or do these offers evaporate quickly? Last time I went through this was looking for clerkships in law school - I suspect some of you remember that, with "exploding offers" that were withdrawn if you hung up phone.[/quote] I don't think its as harsh as law school. But if you're offered a spot you would be expected to respond swiftly. I don't know what to advise, these WLs have not turned into offers, yet, you can only proceed as if they won't do, and then deal with them if and when they come up.[/quote]
