Straight out rejection from Dalton. Didnt realize schools even send out rejections anymore!


I am sorry to hear this. Did you first choice letter a different school?


We didnt first choice any school so guess we were never actually going to get in... We got in to other 2TT and are happy with those.



Glad to hear you have other 2TT. I’m guessing one is SS and other is HM? I’m really surprised Dalton would send out straight rejection.


Wow, you got into TT without first choice letter? that's awesome

My understanding is Trinity and Dalton won't make an offer without a first choice letter.

Sorry.

Honestly I wish more of them did, I'd rather not be left in limbo by a school that has no actual chance of taking our kid - if waitlisting was consistently accurate then you would have a better idea of where you stood and what your odds were in each place. (we dealt with this last year and if we had know which of the waitlisted schools we actually had a shot at we would have acted very differently)

Though I'm surprised Dalton would do this since they seem like one of the more spacey / vibes-based admissions offices; HM on the other hand seems incredibly organized and probably has every kid assigned an exact rank order on their waitlist and yet as I understand it they waitlist everyone.

Waitlist at Buckley, any hope for the waitlist to move?

I didn’t know that either. I thought waitlist was rejection except for the true waitlist.

Still waiting. Our top three choices haven’t notified yet. Did you get some good news already?

Everyone relax: the fact that you even got through this process is a huge achievement in and of itself, and whatever happens, your kids are already off to an amazing start and are lucky to have you as parents.

Do they all come out at 10 sharp? Good luck!

Did any others come out early other than Horace Mann?
