[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry OP. That stinks. I know it is a bit different, but we were waitlisted at all the schools we applied to last year for kindergarten. It’s crushing. I know our HOS went to bat for us and tried to get us in places…but I don’t think you can rely on the admin at your school entirely. My spouse and I went absolutely balls to the wall for 10 days working every angle we could think of. Ultimately we got 2 great offers, but it was a very stressful time. I’m fairly certain it was us and the outreach we did that got us in at the end, not our HOS. Tonight, I’d write personal emails to all 5 admissions directors and tell them they are your first choice and you would definitely attend if you were extended an offer. Take time on making the emails personal—point out what you admire at the school and why you think your kid would be a good fit there. Good luck…it’s hard!![/quote]

You want them to lie and tell all five that they are the first choice? Sage advice. [/quote]
