[quote=Anonymous]I have done this dance many times and for the newly applying for 99 percent of time no hint and don’t believe or misconstrue getting invited to things or hearing so and so was invited. Yes if you are talented at a sport you may be invited to things to see what kind of athlete you are but there is no promise because the reality is this is hs and your child is not getting in with bad scores. Athletics means zero before hs fyi because a lot of athletes drop their sport or do not play hs anything.

The 1 percent thing is maybe they want to see if you are open to K instead of 1 because they are not sure your child is ready.  Even then usually a family gets a no for 1 admit day but a call after asking about K or instead of k then nursery. The other maybe if you are applying as a sibling and no space. Finally if you are at a k8 maybe your current school asks that you are definitely going to x school if given a spot. No lying please or you ruin it for grades after your kid if you change your mind.

A lot of times a hopeful family will take being polite as a future admit or think their child was admitted because how nice admissions was. Remember they want you to want them. Also some “friend” will go on about how said school said their child was in.

My suggestion is control what you can. If child just won robotics award then send a note to admissions etc. Send a first choice letter if it applies. Go to all the events. Then let it go and love the ones who love your child. [/quote]
