I guess this is possible, but is almost certainly rare.

There are schools that have very strong, symbiotic relationships with certain high school. So there are conversations that occur.

And as part of the process the committee early on sorts applications into the three piles described above. One of these piles is for applications that just aren’t going to be considered beyond that.

The sending school might inquire about the status of these applications and the high school might give the sending school an informal “heads up”.[/quote]

This is interesting. Would this type of heads up occur in the last week or so before acceptances are out? So like next week? So like if we're at a k-8 and don't hear anything no news is good news?[/quote]

The last few days are when acceptances are finalized as the decisions on which of the “maybes” are made.

The “definitely nots” are known earlier in the process.

The “sending” school should know when it’s possible an applicant will be shut out. They should have communicated this earlier on and suggested alternatives (safety schools). [/quote]

What is the sending school is a K through12 ?[/quote]

Presumably the student wouldn't be "shut out" because they are already in the k-12 and have that as an option[/quote]

And if they are applying out because they are being counseled out?  Hopefully present school would help them find a good fit/soft landing in that circumstance.[/quote]
