[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My other unanswerable question right now: how much of the daily churn at the moment is just kids slightly ahead of mine on the wait list for school X getting an offer off the wait lists at schools Y or Z, accepting those offers, and then disappearing from wait list X as a result? In other words: it seems at least plausible that, despite my kid apparently inching up in the rankings at our top choices almost daily, there could well be no actual admissions movement at those schools at all. (Does anyone ever contact schools directly for guidance on this sort of thing and get it, or is that a major faux pas? I have zero idea whether to mentally prepare my kid for the fact that the school they're returning to in less than a week might actually be their school for just a few days...or just continue to say nothing and shock the hell out of them with no advance warning if we do magically get an offer from one of the half dozen schools that has us in peak wait list purgatory atm)[/quote] It's fine to contact the school. Not a big deal. You're just expressing your enthusiasm for it, it's unlikely to surprise or offend them. People can reorder their list to avoid getting off waitlists if they want to stay on.[/quote]
