Still on the waitlist...

My daughter has been waitlisted for a boarding school in NH. Is it normal for school to accept student late in the summer? We called and the school said the waitlist is not closed it

I don’t think it happens very often based on reading here. For some schools payment is due soon so there may be some shake out in the coming week. Have you maintained contact with the school?

If the school says the WL is still active, it is. My guess is that a spot could open if someone fails to pay, has a health issue, switches from boarding to day, or has a change of heart. These are all situations beyond your control and the school’s, so while I would not bank on a spot opening up, it could mean that if one does, being flexible and nimble could pay off.

hold on
