[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I am sorry.  There are many, many more qualified students than there are spots in the magnet programs.  What really matters is your DD's work ethic and her brains, which will serve her well no matter where she goes to school.  She is who she is no matter what a letter says, YK?

FWIW, [b]I am pretty sure that a number of students are admitted from the wait-list each year.[/b]  If your DD really wants to go, you should be persistent and follow up to see if a spot opens.[/quote]

This is very true. I just had a conversation with my neighbor last week who told me that when her daughter got in to CAP last year, a number of her friends also got in off the waitlist. So do not lose hope. A fair number of the kids who were accepted were also likely accepted at multiple magnets and may choose to go elsewhere.  So, it's ain't over.[/quote]

+2. We know several kids who got in off the waitlist. Lots of kids apply to the same three programs (CAP, IB and Blair magnet) and many get accepted at multiple programs. So some spaces are likely to open up.[/quote]
