[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While waitlists very occasionally move, the Gonzaga email confirming over-enrollment and no probably waitlist movement is, I suspect, the first of many. I think that was a class move on Gonzaga's part and still strongly dislike how many schools use the waitlist as a nicer "no," giving parents false hope in the process. [/quote] It’s not a nicer no. It’s saying your DC is a good fit and we’d like to have them but it’s an issue of space and numbers. A straight reject is saying no we don’t think it’s a fit. Which would you rather? [/quote] I'd rather schools say "hey, your kid is qualified but we don't have the space so plan to go elsewhere." That happens to be the truth. Many schools waitpool all of their rejections and I don't think it's kind. Parents incorrectly think there is a decent chance of getting off of waitpools and it's misleading about something that is a big deal to families.[/quote]
