If your child is accepted, prepare for some serious weirdness from some other families. Most people could care less, but it isn’t good to discuss it too much. [/quote]

+1 about the weirdness. Best not to bring it up. Most parents didn't say anything directly to us but their kids were sure saying strange things to DD which I'm sure they heard from their parents. It was stuff about affirmative action, favoritism by teachers, speculation about why certain kids got in and other did not that has nothing to do with the real selection criteria. DD ended up staying at the home school and it still comes up every now and then because one of the kids who is at a CES is still friends with her friends.[/quote]

In our experience, the kids were talking about it, but I didn’t hear of any “weirdness” like above.  My DD did tell me a couple kids were admitted, and I approached the parents because I was hoping to talk about the decision with other people deciding, but the parents said the kids were waitlisted.  I didn’t tell the parents their kid told my kid they were admitted and I didn’t tell my daughter the parents said they were waitlisted.  The open house was pretty quick so then I just kept my mouth shut and waited to see who showed up at the open house.  Most of the parents I know from my kid’s activities didn’t know she was admitted until the school year started and her carpool logistics were different.  It has really not been a big thing at all.[/quote]
