[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child wants to turn down a TPMS spot in hopes of coming off the Eastern waitlist (and has the stats to make this a credible risk, but not a slam dunk).

I agree that Eastern is a better fit, but think there is value in having a bird in hand, and value in leaning into your weaknesses a little. [/quote]

I don't have personal experience, but if you kid is dead-set on Eastern, appeal.  (And as someone else said, hopefully not an issue to accept TP in the meantime.)  Our DC's CES teacher, when we met with the teacher at the end of last year, made it very clear that if we didn't get into one of the magnets, and that's what we wanted, we should appeal.  She wouldn't give specific reasons, but my guess is that she saw that others were doing that successfully.  This is a CES in a very low-FARMS area that basically had no kids accepted initially into the magnets the last two years (i.e., after they changed the criteria).[/quote]

Except if you are already waitlisted THERE IS NO NEED TO APPEAL. You are automatically “appealed”. You are specifically told not to appeal or send additional info.[/quote]
