[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^Actually, it is not about thinking there is still a chance, it is about whether or not we are being lied to. It drives me crazy that schools will not say we had XX applications for XX spots. We accepted XX and put XX on the waitlist. I have been explicitly told that no one came off the WL and here on DCUM I hear differently.  So don't tell me it is time to move on. I am starting to wonder if there is fraud.[/quote]

You really need to calm down before you start throwing out accusations like fraud.  You sound really over wrought.

Were you told by the school that no one came off the wait list, or did you hear it from someone else?  If the school said it,  was it the whole school or just the grade?  And when did they tell you no one came off the wait list.

1. Don't believe some random post on DCUM (that isn;t even the parent of the kid who supposedly got off the wait list, and may have been referring to another year ) over the school.
2.  if you didn't hear it from the school its a rumor.
3.  if you heard it from the school they might have meant the grade you applied to, not the whole school.
4. If you heard it from the school it may have been true at the time but is no longer.

There is no fraud going on.  You are not entitled to get off the waitlist.  Almost no one gets off the waitlist.  It may be a crappy system, but thats the way it is in DC -- they put lots of kids on a waitlist knowing that almost none of them will get in.[/quote]
