My DS got in- email this morning and snail mail this afternoon. Clearly there was a mix-up with the front desk lady this morning not knowing they were sending emails to accepted families. I know
how stressful this is - might be better next year if they send an email either way.

Congrats! We didn't get in, but we really liked it.

Great school! Welcome!

We got in and we're thrilled. It looks like they had a mishap with their notification today. Otherwsie, I heard that GDS is a great school.

Does GDS wait list everyone?

I disagree. Parents are at their best during the admissions process. I would be annoyed about this too. Did not apply to GDS, for multiple other reasons, but none of this surprises me.

Please. That was not nice or necessary.

Then what are you trying to be, exactly?

I don't understand the hysteria. Everyone is notified via snail mail. Those that are accepted receive an email with a contract. End of story. This is how it worked last year as well and I don't remember any fuss then.

I think that the furor is over the misinformed and wrong receptionist in the admissions office who incorrectly told understandably anxious parents that no emails were sent out.

That's probably true, but regardless of the receptionist's mistake, why can't they just use a portal or send emails to everyone like all the other schools? They wouldn't be getting the anxious phone calls if they notified everyone at once.

Then they are a clueless bunch! Clearly everyone shares everything about this process on DCUM given the anonymous nature of the board. You shouldn't regret sharing -- I assume you got in. If you did, congrats and best wishes there! Just going in eyes wide open about their apparent chaos.
