How do you know your waitlist #? It would be amazing if you received your postcard yesterday, as they said they were mailing them out then!

WL # 20 for PK3? You have a good chance.

For those who got in, did CM mention a possible move to a new location?

If they didn't mention a possible move, I'm thinking there could be a lot of movement on the waitlists once they finally make it official (if they are in fact moving).

I agree, need to tune out for a few weeks but it's hard. time to sign off I guess. I'm glad this forum was started to help me through my CM anxiety : ) Thanks everyone. We're all in this mess-of-a- process together.

We also got a call. We need to give our decision by April 4.


Congratulations to you too. Curious, did you have sibling preference?

That's more time than they originally said. Last week they told me they would call people who get in so they would have a full week to decide whether to accept!
