You have 14 more years to apply and get into Sidwell. Tell them you'll take a spot, move on, try again for K.

You could send them an email stating that Sidwell is your first choice, and if offered a spot, you will enroll. That could potentially move you up a couple spots. Good luck!

Keep in mind, Sidwell does indeed send regrets, so the waitlist is purely a waitlist, not a combination of a waitlist and polite regrets. For that reason, there is a real chance for you


Thank you. Does anyone know how many children are waitlisted?
