[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After much back and forth, DS decided to turn down Walls for JR (today). A spot should open up on the WL. [/quote]

You just blew through the May 1 Walls deadline because you are in bounds for JR?

Nice.[/quote]

Students that took a seat at Walls but then decided to attend JR are legit.  They are allowed to change their minds and enrollment.  Nothing nefarious there. [/quote]

It is not "nefarious" but it is a little inconsiderate.  Will be even more so once summer bridge week (June 26-30) has passed because students admitted off the waitlist after that week won't have the opportunity to attend.[/quote]

Boo hoo!  If you’re so impatient, then your child should have interviewed better to avoid the waitlist.
You will just have to wait your turn.[/quote]

I view summer bridge as an opportunity for my child to get practice taking the metro to/from school; get acclimated to the new building; take placement tests; learn more about clubs and extracurriculars; meet some new friends/the kids she will be attending school with.  Of course none of this is necessary or critical, but I do think it is a good thing/glad my kid will be able to do it.  And to PP - my kid apparently did interview okay b/c she got in to Walls.  I still think it is inconsiderate to the kids on the waitlist to "enroll" and hold on to a spot you likely do not intend to take b/c you will go to JR or whatever but don't feel like making that decision for realz yet.

Do not overthink what they offer in summer bridge.  Many students miss this.  It is not a requirement for enrollment.[/quote][/quote]
