My child was on the waiting list for the Science and Tech program at Roosevelt, and I emailed the person listed on the letter and she gave me his wait list number.

When people on the waitlist are notified a spot opened up. How long do they get to decide to accept? For example my son is on two high school waitlist and has a preference for one. Also, I don't see WL number on scriborder site. Is that only visible for charter school?

Our daughter moved to #5 on the WL for 6th grade at CMIT South earlier this week after starting at #53. Definitely didn't expect that much movement in such a short time. Also moved to #133 on the WL for CPA after starting at #181. We're currently searching for a home and didn't think we had a good shot in the lottery after being WL so we were targeting neighborhoods with better school options but now I'm thinking we may have a shot at least at CMIT South. What do you think? Should we wait a few more weeks to see if she gets in after the second round of acceptances are proceesed to see if there is anymore movement?
