[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know very few (including me) will be lucky enough to be in this position but...

If you are eligible for both, and accept a position in one, does that automatically withdraw you from the waitlist for the other? Just thinking if your kid has a clear inclination towards one, but gets into the other, should you accept the one that you got into originally? Or hold out to see if you get a spot in the one that may be a better fit.[/quote]

No. My kid got in to TPMS last Jan but waitlisted for Eastern. In July he was offered a space at Eastern. [/quote]

We were specifically told we would be taken out of the pool for one if we accepted the other. I wonder if your experience was due to the trouble they had filling spots at Eastern last year.[/quote]

Not exactly. If your child is given an offer at both and you accept one you're taken out of the other. If your child is given an offer for one but waitlisted for another your child can accept the offer and still remain waitlisted.

I also thought it was weird last year that many people were getting off the waitlist with both offers at the same time. It seemed like they did it on purpose. FWIW we heard of as many people getting off the WL for TPMS as Eastern. We have kids who went to both so we got a lot of questions. Our area is far from both schools so it might be that they were cycling through invites for our area faster than for others since more people are likely to turn down the magnets due to the commute.[/quote]
