A PP here. The k-8 outplacement director at DS's school was crystal clear, as was the head of school, that our kid should apply to several schools because the odds are so low for admission to his target school. The director said it multiple times, in multiple personal family meetings. It was said throughout the year in blast emails, it was clearly stated in a PowerPoint at the mandatory all-parent meeting.

I have no doubt it was said repeatedly to each family at our school and I'm also certain that the same message is made clear at all the other non-parochial K-8s.

If/when a family claims 'shut out' on March 3rd, that's wholly their own fault. You can be disappointed that your actual best option was not your top choice going in, but you cannot be bitter and say with a straight face that you were misled about acceptance odds.
