Anyone have a waitlist story with a happy ending?

<p>Lucky2011 and son - congrats!</p>

<p>Anyone know anything about the nmh and sps wait lists</p>

<p>hockymom18-Thanks for the tidbit! Appreciate it lots. </p>

<p>@lucky2011-That’s wonderful! Taft is an amazing school and I’m sure your son will do good!</p>

<p>Intrinsically-Don’t give up hope! What schools are you waiting for?</p>

<p>hey intrinsically, keep your chin up-- at least we weren’t rejected outright :p</p>

<p>has anyone heard from exeter or groton?</p>

<p>st marks school is full :(</p>

<p>Exeter, I have heard from a friend, is letting all wait-list candidates know on Thursday. Sending good thoughts your way now…I have to join the Secret Santa thread :)</p>

<p>“is letting all wait-list candidates know on Thursday.” </p>

<p>LOL uh oh… if they’re letting ALL w-l candidates know… can’t be good news :p</p>

<p>I think it’s going to be fine. Now, I have not applied, so I have no idea, but I’m guessing that all news, good or bad, will be released. I’m sure you’ll do fine :)</p>

<p>DiveAlive; I’ll try not to give up. :)</p>

<p>I like your UN haha, who did you hear that from? And how did your friend know?
fingers crossed…</p>

<p>Thanks! I think that even the most avid CC addict needs to take a break and “laughalittle” oh hahaha I crack myself up :slight_smile: My friend knows…IDK how she knows but, like many, he/she has been on the admissions office’s case about this from M10 to now. So I’m assuming he/she knows. I’m excited for you to find out :)</p>

<p>Your right the “your off the waitist call” was April. March 10th was the initial you are on the waitlist letter.</p>

<p>Hey People!!
fist time poster-- but I used this forum and thread while waiting to hear back from boarding schools as well and yesterday I got contacted about getting off the waitlist at my first choice(: just wanted to drop a success story and for everyone still waiting to hear from schools it will happen!!<3</p>

<p>^ did you apply for FA?</p>

<p>congrats!!!</p>

<p>No FA… thanks!!(:</p>

<p>What school ?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I’m guessing Cate . . . ;)</p>

<p>Way to go Catebound! I think that Cate and Thacher are two of the coolest, best boarding schools in the U.S. Talk about a great place to be for four years!!</p>

<p>has anyone heard from waitlist at deerfield?</p>

<p>After you were contacted to be off the waitlist, how long it’s going to take to receive the package. I start to get worried since we still haven’t received the package yet since the call from the admission last Saturday (4/9).
@cookbook, have you received the package yet?</p>

<p>They are not going to their Waitlist right now.</p>

<p>Call me a lurker to this site but it has been like medicine for us for the last few weeks (and thanks to ThacherParent for the kind advice).</p>

<p>Our D was admitted from the wait pool today and is going to Thacher! </p>

<p>We were told on Saturday there was a chance and we should hang in there. 4 grueling days later and the call came today. We had no “connections” to the school and could not build a dorm for them so we’re absolutely flabbergasted. </p>

<p>We showed up at our daughter’s school today and surprised her with the news as we had written off the chances. In summary, we said we’re in and she screamed.</p>

<p>We wish the best to all of you still waiting. </p>

<p>To dogersmom request, we can confirm there are happy wait list stories.</p>

<p>Go Thacher Toads!!!</p>
