[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can also call in late May when a lot of schools who did not fill there class even on 1st, 2nd, and 3rd choice go around with acceptance offers AND have attrition start to panic. If you can full pay and make THAT know just before June 1st contracts are non-refundable, DC has a shot.[/quote]
This is very true. We got DD into a competitive school for 4th grade in July. We simply lucked out and a current student's family had a job related move away from the area which created an unexpected spot. I called just after July 4 and the AD was willing to evaluate DD that very week. It helped A LOT that I already had her WISC and could provide unofficial copies of her final 3rd grade report card. Her 3rd grade teacher (a wonderful person) turned around the recommendation in 24 hours and we were set. At that late date, the waitlist applicants had already turned in deposits for other schools so that wasn't a hurdle (I don't know that for sure, I'm simply relaying what I was told by the AD). However, it was very clear... this was a full pay spot but we knew going in we were full pay so that wasn't an issue.[/quote]
