[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to get a consultant help you figure out why this happened. This seems very unusual.[/quote]
Not unusual not to get off waitlists. Maybe unusual to only be waitlisted or rejected and not have any acceptances, but it suggests OP didn’t apply widely enough.

Silly to have waited until now, pinning hopes on waitlists, if they really want to avoid public. They should have started calling more schools as soon as they weren’t accepted to any they originally tried. [/quote]

OP’s post suggests that her child did not get into any schools and did not get off any waitlist. There’s either something in the application, “references“ were interviews that is causing a red flag for these schools.[/quote]

No red flag.  Maybe schools she applied to don’t have enough spaces.  [/quote]

No way to know unless OP politely solicits & gets feedback from the admissions teams. We got feedback from 2 schools - at one my kid didn't do well on their internal placement exam and was too shy to show personality and express her interests in the group interview, another had only 2 open spots for girls in the grade we were applying for and > 50 applicants. She went to her 3rd choice school and it was a pretty decent fit for a bit but then she transferred to public which has been great.[/quote]
