[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]2 different kids in the last 2 years . First kid applied to 4: in at 3, waitlisted at 1. we were surprised about WL, expected rejection. School notorious for quantity of homework and dc talked in interview about how useless homework is.
Second child : [b]applied 1[/b]- School that older kid is at. Second kids stats better than first kids. [b]Rejected[/b].[/quote]

then what?  what intake year/grade was this for?[/quote]

6th grade. 
Well that is a different more interesting story. 
We knew it was possible DC 2 would not get in, but honestly didn't believe it would happen. When it happened our plan was to stay put,which was an option for us. We called the school we applied to and asked to meet with director of admissions to get a feel for whether we should even try again the next year. When first child picked this school we felt that while it was a good fit for DC 1, it was an amazing fit for DC 2. After a very long meeting with director and staff, DC 2 was offered a place on WL. Then admitted from waitlist.
