Our 8th grader got into Maret - GDS - Field - St. Andrews and was waitlisted and Sidwell - which was our first choice. Not sure if it's worth waiting or not - or just going with one of the schools he got into. If he's waitlisted at SFS - then tell me - what are his chances of getting in?

Are we supposed to get financial information along with the admission email?

This board is ever quiet. Was this a really tough admit cycle?

GDS waitlists nearly everyone. You will have very anecdotal reports of people getting in off the waitlist, but assume it's in the sub 5% range. Be delighted if it happens but definitely plan for the exceptionally high chance that they are not admitted.

We were waitlisted twice before. Finally got in. Don't give up.
Also WL for GDS (high school). Is this a real WL or does GDS waitlist everyone who wasn’t accepted?
I believe they WL everyone. Having said that, my child was admitted off the WL there a few years ago.

Everyone has moved to the college board where this starts all over again.
