Annie will tell you if there's any chance of movement. Odds are really slim because it's a tiny class that's typically made up of lots of sibs/faculty kids/alum kids etc. All people unlikely to decline...

OP, my understanding is that Maret K and GDS PreK/K waitlist all applicants not admitted - we were admitted at one and W/L ed at the other. A few people told me that if the Maret W/L letter had a handwritten note, then the school was signaling interest. Of course, all this is hearsay in a town filled with folks who revel in reading tea leaves, talk about if the Vatican is blowing white or black smoke, etc. Best of luck to you and your DC.

Unlikely to move

For K?

The middle school waitlist does move,

Has anyone had experience with the Maret Wait list? Does it move at all? Is it even worth staying on it?
