[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know very few (including me) will be lucky enough to be in this position but...

If you are eligible for both, and accept a position in one, does that automatically withdraw you from the waitlist for the other? Just thinking if your kid has a clear inclination towards one, but gets into the other, should you accept the one that you got into originally? Or hold out to see if you get a spot in the one that may be a better fit.[/quote]

No. My kid got in to TPMS last Jan but waitlisted for Eastern. In July he was offered a space at Eastern. [/quote]

We were specifically told we would be taken out of the pool for one if we accepted the other. I wonder if your experience was due to the trouble they had filling spots at Eastern last year.[/quote]

I was told that the same things several years ago, and it turned out to be not true. I had explicitly called DCCAP to ask the question and was told my child would be removed from the wait list if I accepted one of the programs. I just decided to take the bird in the hand even though it wasn't the program my child was the most excited about. Later, they were accepted off the wait list at their preferred program and I gave up the original spot.[/quote]
