Pretty balsy…..if it didnt affect other kids I would tend to agree with this guy….[/quote]

Well it does affect other kids.  And it affects your OWN kid!!!  At some point, your kid needs to pick (even if they didn't get into any reaches or their top choice or really even if they were rejected at all reaches and targets) and start focusing on getting excited about where they are attending.  They need to attend "orientation" or whatever the college calls it, many start in June with in person orientations.  Given that there is a 95% change your kid will end up at that school (WL often do not move), you owe it to your kid to get excited and be all in for their school.  Then be pleasantly surprised if they get off a WL.  But waiting until June/July/Aug to hear and not be 100% focused on one school is not mentally healthy for kids
