[quote=Anonymous]Our DC was w/l for K several years ago - we agonized during this time period trying to figure out why we didn't receive the call (which came for some friends right after spring break).  They declined the spot and we regained hope that it would work out for us.  It didn't - THAT year.  DC went to K in public and we re-applied the following year -  non-entry year.  Again, w/l happened and we (finally) received a call in May that year.  DC has thrived in what we knew was the right fit school.  There are too many qualified kids for too few spaces and no way to predict what will happen.

The w/l scenario is horrible and I understand what you are feeling right now.  Some people who receive multiple acceptances hang on to them like a badge of honor until the very last moment.  We had acquaintances who labored over their decision between two particular "Big 3" schools and received an extension to their initial depsoit due date.

Move forward with Plan B, but leave your options open as much as you can until 5/31.  There IS movement on w/l during the early April timeframe.   I know several families (other than our's) over the years who received calls from schools (all "Big 3") in April, May and one was in June.   The contract binding date is the true cut-off - schools make that very clear!  After that point it is highly unlikely any calls will come.  [/quote]
