No but dejected to see the other post about how some recruited athletes were touring a school with the athletic director.

Anything happen with anyone this week? Any possible? “signs of acceptance “?

Is a letter of acceptance

Anyone heard anything in the past week?

I think enjoy it; then if you must regroup, and do it again, it’s not you or your kid

I think if a leaving school tried to interfere with admissions beyond sending recommendations they would be really stooping low and just do not think that is fair. Most admissions officers are very professional. I also do not think they will go out of their way to help someone leave beyond sending documents and recommendations. They are busy.

I guess this is possible, but is almost certainly rare.

There are schools that have very strong, symbiotic relationships with certain high school. So there are conversations that occur.

And as part of the process the committee early on sorts applications into the three piles described above. One of these piles is for applications that just aren’t going to be considered beyond that.

The sending school might inquire about the status of these applications and the high school might give the sending school an informal “heads up”.

This is interesting. Would this type of heads up occur in the last week or so before acceptances are out? So like next week? So like if we're at a k-8 and don't hear anything no news is good news?

The last few days are when acceptances are finalized as the decisions on which of the “maybes” are made.

The “definitely nots” are known earlier in the process.

The “sending” school should know when it’s possible an applicant will be shut out. They should have communicated this earlier on and suggested alternatives (safety schools).

What is the sending school is a K through12 ?

Presumably the student wouldn't be "shut out" because they are already in the k-12 and have that as an option

And if they are applying out because they are being counseled out? Hopefully present school would help them find a good fit/soft landing in that circumstance.

Yes not shut out from the sending school. But a PP had stated that a current school's admissions would give an advanced notice if they were shut out of schools they were applying to. Oh, as I type this I see your point, the is not total shut out in this situation.

I don't think k-12s engage in the same sort of advocacy that k-8s do as part of their model

It’s because of the relative frequency of the occurrences. Every year K8’s send a significant majority of their students to private high schools. Frequently these students are sent to the same high schools year after year.

Placement in these high schools is an important part of what the K-8’s offer. The high schools depend on these K-8’s as a source of students. So there’s a symbiosis and a reservoir of trust that builds up. The K-8 is incented to be straight forward with the high school on the relative strengths of the applicants.

Based on years of experience, the K-8 has a sense of who will be, might be and probably won’t be accepted. They should be counseling the families of applicants or at a minimum answering questions about an applicants chances.
