The Official Master List of 2015 Prep School Decisions

Before I get started, I must give credit to @SevenDad. This is basically his 2014 thread, but modified for 2015.

Note that this thread is intended to be for RESULTS only. So spare the stats and commentary (congratulation, commiseration, etc.) for other threads.

In past years, the well-intentioned formatting fell by the wayside quickly, so let’s just go for straight text (no bolding, no color, no italics) that is easy to cut and paste.

FORMAT:
Username (as it appears below your avatar): Accepted: (list all schools where you were accepted); Waitlisted: (list all schools where you were waitlisted); Rejected: (list all schools where you were rejected)
[USE COMMAS BETWEEN SCHOOLS AND LEAVE A SPACE BETWEEN EACH PERSON’S RESULT FOR READABILITY]

When updating with your results, simply “cut and paste” the most recent list and add your name in alphabetical order (to make it easier for people to scan and find the kids they are rooting especially hard for). Don’t stress if your update crosses paths with another poster’s….it’s bound to happen, especially during “peak” hours. In the past, some well-intentioned/”too much time on their hands” (I resemble that remark!) parents have been known to clean up the list after/before normal business hours. MAKE SURE TO PUT A SPACE BETWEEN EACH PERSON’S RESULT.

Generally speaking, you should only need one word for the school name, but if you need to clarify, make it short and sweet (see St. Andrew’s below).

So, what the list will start looking like is (fake screen names, except for my own):

AKidWithDreams: Accepted: Choate, Deerfield, Tabor; Waitlisted: Exeter; Rejected: None

BestSchool4Me: Accepted: St. Andrew’s (DE), Exeter, Hill; Waitlisted: Hotchkiss, Lawrenceville; Rejected: Andover, St. Paul’s

SevenDaughter2: Accepted: Beauxbatons; Waitlisted: Hogwarts; Rejected: Durmstrang

TooSmartforLPS: Accepted: Emma Willard, Thacher; Waitlisted: Cate; Rejected: Episcopal

…and so on

WHAT IF YOU ARE STILL WAITING FOR RESULTS FROM A SCHOOL?
This is your call, and I know people like to post as soon they get results from any school. Personally, I’m planning on waiting for all my daughter’s results to come in and posting once. However, if you would to prefer to share info as it comes in, I would advise just putting “Waiting On: School X” AFTER the three “decision" categories (ex. Rejected: Durmstrang; Waiting On: Hogwarts; Beauxbatons)…BUT please take the time to update when the results do come in.

WAITLISTED?
Probably a good idea to read this thread:

WANT TO KNOW STATS OF KIDS VS. THEIR DECISIONS?
That is what the “TomTheCat” thread is for. Named for an Andover student (I think now in college) who made the first one a few years ago. This year’s thread was created by stargirl3. It will be closed until the evening of March 10th.

MODERATOR’S NOTE:
I will reopen on M10.

MODERATOR’S NOTE:
The thread is now open…

Mateen : Accepted: Non; Waitlisted: White Mountain School; Rejected: Blair Academy; Waiting on : Andover, Friends Select School

Mateen: Accepted : Non; Wait Listed : White Mountain School ; Rejected : Blair Academy ; Waiting on : Andover, Friends Select School

zookeeper7 daughter: Accepted: St. George’s, Episcopal, Kent, Pomfret; WL: Hotchkiss; Rejected: none

A reminder: the idea here is to copy the list above you, add in your details (in the correctly place alphabetically) and then post the inclusive list. This thread works best if you can glance at any one post and get all the information you need.

MODERATOR’S NOTE:
Do not just list your own results. Please follow the directions in the original post and insert your results.

Also note that I’ve seen people post to the list in two ways: Either as their own results come in or later in the day, with all results. Either way works, but if you do post on a rolling basis, please come back to update as your decisions come in. Best of luck and thanks to skieurope for opening this thread earlier than perhaps he intended!

The other thing is to make sure you don’t drop anyone when re-posting… for example soxmom is no longer listed…

Sorry about that. Here is the correct list.

RedSoxFan18: Accepted: Andover, Milton; Waitlisted: None; Rejected: None; Waiting On: Choate

I think soxmom and I posted at about the same time - sorry about that!

@softballgirl16 it is bound to happen! No worries…just something to be aware of later in the list! Congrats on your acceptances.
