[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you think it means anything if you get a personal email from an admissions dir saying that the wait list is real, that they really like your kid and think he'd be great at their school, and they will stay in touch?

We got the form email saying DC was waitlisted and asking if we wanted to stay on the WL, but then also got a very nice personal email in response to our note saying we did want to stay on the WL. Do you think that is a genuine signal, or just a nice let-them-down-gently thing?

ITs not a signal of anything. Its a waitlist. They offered, you accepted (the WL) and they reassured you it was real. End of story. T[b]he rest is a waiting game only.[/quote][/b]

But! depending on the school and age of child consider having your child write the head of school a personal note of precisely why they want to attend X school.  Our DD did that and was off the WL and in within the week.  But it has to be heartfelt, from the kid and right for the situation which only you can gauge.[/quote]
