[quote=Anonymous]My kids graduated from a highly regarded K8 (not Langley). A few things to understand. Your school knew a few days to a week where the kids got in and/or WL. They cannot tell you of course but they should already be working on back up plans. The only time this was an issue for total shut out was when a family only applied to top schools with no safety and child’s grades/scores were not high. Actually I cannot remember a total shut out but maybe a safety and the school working through the WL. I also remember the WL moving which is why they tell everyone not to post and to give a few days for things to settle. It is also imperative for everyone to release spots if you do not need them. Sometimes a released spot is given to someone else at the school because schools generally will only accept a few kids from each k8 even if there are many great candidates. I do know everything will work out and everyone was so happy at graduation. If you care about fellow kids please do not hold the spots so you can boast that you were at all the accepted receptions. We both times released spots within an hour. Good luck!![/quote]
