Has anyone heard about any wait list movement?

<p>I heard that Deerfield made some calls to students on their wl to gauge their interest and will be getting back to them (and maybe others) on Wed. I have heard of 4 other schools going to their wait list today, so it is starting…</p>

<p>Regarding the post above, getting financial aid and a wl spot is sort of a double whammy—the stars have to align just right for you, with some accepted student forgoing his aid. I have never seen it happen personally, although I’ve heard that it does happen. To that poster—a top public high school sounds great, don’t feel bad about it! that’s where my kids will be going even though I am in the private school business!</p>

<p>newyorker, do you get the feeling that yields are coming in even lower than the schools expected?</p>

<p>My kid was admitted from the wait list last week to a tier one school. My kid’s friends have been contacted numerous times these past few weeks by admissions people at several other HADES schools regarding continued interest in being admitted from the wait list.</p>

<p>Lucky kid! Was he FP or FA?</p>

<p>yes, were all these kids being contacted FP?</p>

<p>epictitus, how about some names?</p>

<p>All are FP. All are hooked in one or more ways. Hesitate to give school names. But, the schools run the spectrum of the most selective. My kid removed himself from the lists of 4 schools accepted at and 1 other wait list. As this may be typical, there are lots of openings to come. Lot’s of luck to everyone!!!</p>

<p>bump bump bump</p>

<p>i took my name off the waitlist for choate, hotchkiss, and deerfield.
oh, and i’m e-mailing groton today saying that i won’t be attending.
i guess that means a waitlister will be getting a very happy message tomorrow or so.</p>

<p>XOXO, I wish it were that simple. It is very important that students realize that schools know that not everyone offered admission will accept. That is why they accept more students than they have room for.</p>

<p>But congratulations on making a decision. You couldn’t have gone wrong with either school. I am very excited for all of you who can now, after months and months of anticipation, see your dreams becoming reality. I sincerely hope that this is but the first time you set a goal and see it come to fruition.</p>

<p>You all have a bright bright future ahead of you. I remember reading a rejection letter from Groton that was posted last year. It said something like, “Hold on to your ambition. It will take you far in life.” </p>

<p>So even if you’re in waitlist purgatory, like my son, realize that putting yourself out there for scrutiny, and being willing to “run with the swift,” speaks volumes to your ambition, your determination, your character, and your potential. Congratulations to all.</p>

<p>Last week a call of acceptance from a HADES school, for a girl and she took it. If not FP then very close and the present school was private and closeby.</p>

<p>We just got accepted from the wl at Choate. Have a few hours to decide…</p>

<p>Wow Pan – very exciting! What other schools are you considering? (pm me if you have any questions about Choate).</p>

<p>congrats pan1956!!!</p>

<p>Pan1956- Cool! Congratulations! Happy Choate parent here. What other school are you considering? Happy to answer any questions…</p>

<p>I took myself off the waitlist at hotchkiss, andover, and deerfield. 11th grade girl btw. good luck you guys.</p>

<p>Can anyone tell me if they hae gotten a call from Deerfield telling them they are in off the waitlist?</p>

<p>We’re keeping our fingers crossed for SPS - Any one hear concrete movement there yet?</p>

<p>We’re excitedly hoping, but realistically planning to reapply next year</p>

<p>Both Deerfield and SPS are over enrolled, so there will not be any wait list movement today )=</p>

<p>I heard that Deerfield will not be going to its wait list for boys. Sorry to those waiting…</p>
