Same question here. We’ve heard positive feedback from our PSD and it was interpreted as a yes. Wondering if people had been surprised in the past


I did have a friend who got screwed by Brearley (positive feedback to PSD but didn’t get accepted). But most of the times, it is congruent (you will get in).


And in that case couldn’t they work the WL?

Congrats!! This is one of my top choices for DS next year. Would you mind sharing anything that you think helped or set him/your family apart?


Curious about this too. Anything you could share much appreciated.

Have heard that HM will indicate “high priority waitlist” on some of their waitlist letters.

Tough call. I know a family who got off the HM waitlist last year, but that family was from public school so they didn’t have PSD. Maybe ask your PSD?

Try to find out where they are on the waitlist. In past years they do give almost all waitlist but their waitlist also sometimes moves.


Thanks! Is it the case that these schools all just give waitlist instead of rejections?

Any tips about finding out where DC is on the list? HM asked not to call them in the decision letter. We didn’t get any feedback from preschool director about HM either so very little information


The hill schools seem to like to do this, the others tend to have real WLs but im not 100% sure.

Anecdotal but I know a family who got off the HM waitlist last year. They heard just a few minutes before the deadline.

Waitlists can move a bit especially after the Isaagny school results come out a few days later.
