In @ Holton for 6th. Also got a call around 1 pm & a swag box delivered USPS w/our reg mail. Only school DD wanted/applied to, so we are happy. Sending good vibes esp. to those awaiting WL outcomes.

Probably because you did not donated to the Admissions Fund…. Everyone who donated, got accepted.

We did not get in anywhere. I am so incredibly disappointed. Do we have any hope to get off waitlists..


At those schools, waitlist entry is exceptionally unlikely to be honest. Others may provide anecdotal success stories, but it's not likely. That said, your child is young...try again for 6th which is a larger entry year.


Not at Potomac

Potomac takes 12 kids at 4th.
Only 6 kids at 6th

But then they take 20 kids at 7th…

Reach out to Potomac and tell them they are your first choice and if extended an offer, you will accept. It’s highest probability of the 3 schools.

Maret wait-listed

I think GDS is a better fit for one and NCS is a better fit for the other, so we need to decide if we want to split them up


I would advise to keep them together if you need any advice about those 2 schools (I had kids at both of them) let us know. Congratulations excellent choices!!
