My neighbor's kid got admission offer 2 weeks after school started last year. They went to base HS the first 2 weeks!

Really? That seems nuts. For all the time management crap they expect out of MS kids...

We saw this at our LI ES. Parents signed up for the LI program and then decided against it the day of the Open House, we saw the names posted on the door and then the kid wasn't in the class. I can see something similar at TJ that the student and parents are excited but as you get closer and the nerves hit some people change their mind. Or they go for the first week or so and quickly decide that they hate the commute and return ot their base school. Or they get cold feet when school starts.

And for kids who are on the wait list and really bummed that they were not selected, the year is still young so they accept the offer and don't miss much.

Yeah, this is my understanding as well. They are trying to fill seats. Culling people from the waitlist purpose. If you are on the waitlist, you can remove yourself, TJ won’t.

*serves no purpose*

Wdym by eliminating them off a waitlist. If you are given an offer and don’t accept, you are off the waitlist.

No I mean, along with issuing acceptances are they also reducing the waiting list by rejecting them now? Or do they just stay on the list unless they hear?

One of the medium feeders.

What schools?

Do we know how many are in the waitpool?

We have until May 29th.
So I think the next wave is mid June.

If they follow the current cadence (2 weeks for applicants to decide, next round of acceptances sent a week later), we are looking at 4 more rounds - June 5, June 26, July 17, August 7.

Congrats to those who got acceptances! Out of curiosity how long do they give you to accept?
