[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm of the opinion that you should only apply to schools that your child would be equally happy to attend. Since you are in a WL position, I would say for peace of mind just accept the first offer of admission you receive. I suppose it's fun to think of the possibility that you'll get off of both waitlists and have a choice, but let's be real here. You are not only counting chickens before they hatch, but you are also not even on the farm. If you get off a waitlist spot, take it and don't look back.[/quote]

OP here - I'm not counting chickens at all.  I think the chances we get off one WL are relatively low, and 2 would be an embarrassment of riches.  But low chances >> zero chance.

I'm asking people to share their experience, as some have, regarding the amount of time we could expect to make a decision so that we can think in advance how to react.

As for "equally happy to attend" - if that were the case we wouldn't bother with WL.  I don't think it's realistic - some schools are a better match than others.[/quote]
