[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To answer the OP, I would not lie and tell my child he/she was waitlisted if they were rejected.[/quote]

Yes, don't lie. It will turn your kid into a liar too.  We know someone who did this and her daughter told EVERYONE she was WL for Sidwell.  The girls were laughing at her behind her back because they all knew she didn't get in. It was sad because I knew it was probably her mom that told her that, so she was really innocent about it all.[/quote]

Sounds like a lovely group of friends. Regardless, I think Sidwell is one of those schools that WL everyone at 9th, so she probably was WL and not rejected.   I assumed it was a soft rejection when my DC was WL for 9th. [/quote]

Middle school girls can be so lovely.   Lemme guess... you were perfect and so are your kids.... everyone else has a problem...[/quote]
Sidwell definitely does not WL every applicant [/quote]
Meaning above they do send out rejection letters [/quote]
