[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Genuinely wondering what the problem is. OP and other people who do this will ultimately make a decision, so it's not like their kid is taking up more than one spot in a school come June 1st. They lose the deposit(s), sure, but that's just punishing them and no one else. [/quote] It probably gets harder for schools to get their preferred candidates to accept from the wait list the longer they have to wait. People become more settled about going elsewhere, make connections at new family events, etc. Also for families really hoping to get off the waitlist, and for whom the school is a great fit, this really sucks for them. It’s kind of a selfish move and would come across as such. If you doing this OP, make a decision and give notice right away to save face.[/quote]
