<p>anyone going?</p>
<p>there are 3 boys and 1 girl that i know that are all going as day students . =]</p>
<p>are they all class 2011</p>
<p>yes!! yup yup yup</p>
<p>definitely 3, one more probably is, but also got into andover. haven't talked to her in a while, but at the andover open house said she felt more comfortable at middlesex so yah i'll stop rambling. they're all very intelligent & nice!</p>
<p>I thought that of all our visits the kids at Middlesex looked the happiest..maybe not true but just our initial observation..</p>
<p>waitlistman, as a parent of a middlesex student (2008), your assessment is right on. I have had the occasion to visit many schools and Middlesex by far is the happiest in terms of student attitude.</p>
<p>Yep- now if I could just beg borrow or steal our way in there..my daughter
would be happy..we have done everything but appear in the admissions office to say PALEEZZZ!! But no avail....last conversation they told me sometimes some kids are not asked back for academics etc. so that seems our last hope as a lower classmen in 10th I guess still allows them to consider a spot for 9th-that was what the indication was..perhaps a couple and they do one 9th and one 10th as the class loads are balanced between the two grades perhaps...I am still hopeful but getting sort of desperate at this point...
sending them updated transcripts etc. but the Catholic school principal wants my d to go to a Catholic HS and its making me really angry as it should be our choice not hers and the call she should make is something I am not going to strongarm for...sad...
waiting..</p>
<p>dancer--do you go to Camp Thoreau? My D thinks you are one of her camp mates?</p>
<p>Anyone here anything from Middlesex wait list?</p>
<p>Thanks for all the feedback</p>
<p>As I mentioned I have a daughter who attends Middlesex but, our 8th grade daughter was waitlisted. We have not heard a word but my daughter has long moved on to another choice. I wish you well. Middlesex very rarely takes people off the waitlist. As per the ad office maybe one or two every two years.</p>
<p>prepparent- clear your pm box!!!!</p>
<p>Some parents who organize Middlesex events in NC claim to have the juice to pull kids in from the clear blue , i.e. waitlist</p>
<p>My acronym xlator says NC is north Carolina so I must have missed how they have the JUICE to pull a wait lister off the list out of the clear blue...?
Who are these people and how can I make a friend of one..
the school principal did agree to call on my D behalf to Middlesex as its our top choice and she also said she would forward the Valedictorian info...finally we applied late to Concord and they said they will let us know this week..probably just a spot on the wait list but they did say they would give a decision..so I am praying it works out as I really like the fit at Concord...
I think one thing that bugs me is that the interviewers really went out of their way to indicate that our D was just what they wanted--today again Milton Raved over her..its just so odd..Milton said that since no FA we did still have a better chance-even though they ARE FULL-DOH double talk triple talk but bottom line is they do academic reviews and some kids get the boot, even in 10th they say the can sometimes pull in a 9th for a booted 9th grader who is not invited for 10th--so hope still floats and the fat lady has not sung...
and if not we will apply again next year...my D thinks she will not want to make a shift in the middle but at least the option is there...
this has been quite an experience...I learned a lot--and I see many here who are in this for the right reasons and many here that are a bit pompous and are in it for the wrong reasons...all in all a good education as its good to know that some of this is a bit on the cultish side--I have always felt that the obsession of some families with BS borders on the Rev. Moon like obsession..and its not trying to be wise--I think its dead on that BS have many many characteristics of cults...peer pressure..family pressure...continuing traditions are often noble but just sometimes a bit silly too....I think we have found perspective now...
In spite of my sociological opinion I still think it offers a very rich educational experience and very much want it for my D but I have learned that there is a soft underbelly as well..
