[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child was admitted for PK and I think the school would be a really good fit.  I am waiting to see what happens with the Two Rivers lottery on the 29th and then will make my final decision about enrollment ... I really like the school, but am not in the position to blithely commit to the tuition before knowing what all our options are.  [/quote]

I think there are a lot of us in a similar economic position-- I would if it is ethical/beneificial for society for those of us that can afford private school to nonetheless take a position at a school with long waitlists-- possibly take the spot of kids that don't have other better options because they don't have as much $.  When people criticize folks that have their kids go to private schools because they are "abandoning" the public schools, I think that this is the flip side-- if all the kids in private schools switched over to public, there would be even fewer spots available at the few good schools.  On the other hand, I suppose eventually public schools would improve.

Anyway, regarding CHDS vs. Two Rivers, if you do turn down the offered admission to CHDS, would CHDS be less likely to admit you later on down the road than if you hadn't applied in the first place?  If I were AD at CHDS I would be a bit miffed and would likely count it against you down the road, but I seem to have a bit more vengance than most folks.  that fear of later retaliation is the big reason I am delay applying to certain schools until I absolutely know I would take an offered space.
