[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you need to get n the phone with your HS guidance office NOW and have them work those waitlists aggressively.  Make them make calls.  Discuss the specifics.  Find out who they have relationships with.  Be relentless.  Follow other poster's advice on sending LOCIs also.

And please ignore all the other BS in this thread.[/quote]

This.

Two years ago, my friend's son was waitlisted by all 8 schools he applied. He was the top of his class. Other kids with worse grades/test results/extra curriculum ... got into schools that waitlisted him. His headmaster and guidance office were shocked. The headmaster asked him to pick one school, and both he and the advisor called the admission office of that school. Then the whole family drove to the school to meet the dean of admission. He was able to get off the wait list.

The admission process is a crap shot and it is unnecessarily traumatizing our kids and families. I agree with one of the PPs - it is like a cartel.[/quote]
