There are likely at least a few folks who are responding yes today b/c it's the deadline, but are still mulling over any other options they may have in the common lottery where decisions aren't due until May 1. I'd bet there will be a bit of movement in May when the common lottery shakes out.

I was at the school today and there were many families turning in forms. The woman at the front desk said that they had received them back from everyone.

Maybe everyone already accepted their spot so it is just a matter of whether people decide to do something different and withdrawal?

CM told me they expect the accepted families to accept. How can they know this? How can they know already that WL will not move much? I don't understand.

You have to prove residency when you register.

We were told we only needed to prove residency by the first day of school.....

Today is the last day for new families to accept their spot.

The school is increasingly popular. But the list will move a bit with some kids getting preferable spots through the general lottery and others finding the commute to the new location unworkable.

Any movement on pk4? Also in the single digits on the waitlist and wondering if/when we may get a call.

Agree that you likely have a very good shot with a very low waitlist number.
I do expect, however, that there may not be as much movement in the PS3 waitlist this year as in the previous 2 years because there are definitely more siblings in PS 3 starting next year than there were in past years...
As always, of course, we're all simply making educated guesses at this stage....

I think you have a good shot, good luck! It's a great school.
