[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think getting in off the waitlist for HS is a tad easier if coming in from a K-8 that will advocate for your child. Every year a few kids from our k-8 get off waitlists at some of the competitive schools. [/quote] I think most K-8 will advocate for kids to get into at least one school but will probably not break a heavy sweat to get kids into multiple schools (particularly if the target school accepted others from the K-8). [/quote] Our K-8 has had kids accepted at FH, Bullis, Burke, Madeira, etc. that have later gotten off the waitlist at Sidwell, GDS, Holton, etc. The K-8's want the matriculation that makes parents as happy as possible (so they don't switch their kids out early) which often means acceptance into the most competitive schools. They absolutely do help advocate for students waitlisted at their top choices.[/quote]
