Has anyone heard of a waitlist offer yet from Walls? Or is all the movement just people abandoning the waitlist as they choose other schools?

That is before the deadline.

That tracks based on what we hear from our kid's friends staying where they are and turning Walls down.

I predict the waitlist for Walls will move even more in the next few weeks as some kids on the waitlist will also reject the offer.

Thomson parent here: glad you got in! It's a small, welcoming school. I hope your kid likes it.

We also moved up about 10 spots for Garrison Prek3. Seems like a big jump? Curious the driver for that!

The last two years, Garrison has made 9-10 offers in June for PK3, so that doesn't seem too far off what's typical.

They may also be able to move PK3 a little faster because they don't have to worry about random IB kids showing up late in summer like they do for K-5.

Are you IB or OOB?

Our Garrison K number increased by 1 in April. Garrison 1st didn't move. We have friends with a PK4 and a 2nd grader whose Garrison waitlist numbers didn't move in April. According to this post, PK3 increased 5 (though that could be new IB kids doing post lottery applications? Five is a lot though).

Based on my logic, that means that some PK3s got sibling preference and a K got sibling preference. So they must have made some offers - which means the offers they made in April were in 3rd, 4th, or 5th grade? The last two years, they haven't made any June offers for grades 3-5. And they must have made more than one or two to get catch so many siblings.

Hmm...
