"To me that says the WL list schools knew the child would be accepted at the more competitive schools and didn't think they'd actually take the spot. St. Pats in particular is known for doing this."

Happened to us in regards to St Pats. Accepted PK @ GDS (1st choice) - WL at St. Pats. Heard St Pats was aware of our other application. Wonder if admissions folks trade a little info....

Hey, it happens! My kid got into GDS but not Janney for PreK. Years back, but we were inbounds.

I see St. Andrew's isn't listed on the survey of admission results. What is it about this school that makes it unimportant to this forum? It's a great school, and should be on the list.

The better bet would be that this is a troll attempting to demystify the idea of "the big 3"

Releasing Norwood K girl.

Haven't heard from our 1st choice yet, but have been admitted to another school we would choose over Norwood (purely for proximity reasons).
