[quote=Anonymous]OMG, did I say we got waitlisted at Sidwell ... talk about a Freudian slip.  Most definitely not.  They rejected us.  We were waitlisted just at Beauvoir and GDS.  Since GDS's entry class is so much smaller than Beauvoir's I wasn't very hopeful.  I had also heard that very few if any say no to GDS.  I pursued Beavuoir all spring and summer but got nowhere.  I would just get the answering machine and never got a return call.  I'm sure there is movement on the Beauvoir waitlist but we weren't one of them.

I don't know how he did all the play date but like OP, my son has a great vocabulary, a great smile, and is an all-around nice kid.   I had also heard about the right preschools but we just couldn't afford to do the abbreviated schedules that NCRC and similar schools offer.  I have a job!  And we couldn't afford a nanny so we never even considered it.  My kid went to CapKids downtown from birth on.  I'm sure he didn't get the packagaing or the right recommendation letter despite the director's best intentions.

To answer your question finally - schools will either ask you to fill out a postcard and mail it in to be placed on the waitlist, express in writing your desire to be kept on the waitlist, or do nothing unless you don't want to be on the waitlist.  There may be other permutations but those are the most common.
