[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS was WL at an elite school. I was actually surprised by this as he was well qualified for that school. In April he received a National award in his area. He wrote that in required WL letter. They called us the next day and offered admission. But DS wouldn’t take it. I forgot we were dealing with a teenager here— feeling we’re hurt. Announcements had been made. He declined and nothing would change his mind. [/quote]

Years ago I was waitlisted by my top choice NESCAC school and won a big award that I shared with the school.  They offered me a spot very soon after and I jumped on it.  It was the best decision for me and I loved my time there.  I also met my husband and so many great friends.  Just wanted to share the other side as well because sometimes you get off the list and decide to take the second chance and it works out great too.

I was ready to attend another school but I'm glad I was still open to my first choice because I can't imagine my life any other way.  In the end, there are so many great opportunities so I think students need to keep an open mind and weigh everything.  Good luck OP![/quote]
