[quote=Anonymous]Try not to take it personally. For pre-K, my daughter was rejected at one school, wait listed at one, and admitted to one (K-8). Once I got over the personal disappointment (what kind of loser am I that I can't get my kid into the school my friends' kids got into?), we decided not to pursue the wait listed school, on the theory they weren't able to realize how great my kid is, they didn't deserve her. She's now going through application process again (for 9th), and we have a much better idea of what a good "fit" would be. If she had been in one of the others we may have just kept her there without reexamining. So don't worry, even if you don't get into first choice, it will all work out. And if your kid is in K, you don't have to talk about where he/she was rejected just where you want him to go. [/quote]
