The Wait List

<p>I heard St. George’s never went to it’s wait list and and was basically spot on with admissions.</p>

<p>@98beebee, Exeter just sent one out today via e-mail</p>

<p>My friend got off the waitlist of hotchkiss and milton yesterday…10th grade gril.</p>

<p>That’s great, congratulations to your friend!</p>

<p>Saswisher, just curious… Do you know which school your friend picked?
Asking this because my daughter is waitlisted for Milton’s 10th grade.</p>

<p>Hey I think she hasnt made the decision yet, but she is leaning towards Milton…She is an international student though.</p>

<p>I was accepted off of Milton’s waitlist yesterday also, and I’m also a 10th grade girl and international student.</p>

<p>Jumping up and down for you aarlyn! So very happy for you. I hope all of you find a place!</p>

<p>lol then I’m pretty sure Milton is trying to take a 10th grade girl off the waitlist, since my friend and arralyn both declined the offer… (sorry ka9799 she decided to go to Hotchkiss instead!)</p>

<p>Any updates for the Choate wait list?</p>

<p>Nothing from Choate, still remotely hopeful but moving on… unless they call of course :)</p>

<p>Ok, Exeter and Hotchkiss have closed their waitlists. </p>

<p>Public school it is, then.</p>

<p>I actually got an email from Hotchkiss saying that I’m off the waitlissttt!!! :D</p>

<p>@98beebee</p>

<p>since when are Exeter and Hotchkiss waiting lists closed? </p>

<p>They said they may have movement in the summer. Though it is unlikely, that still does happen, especially for a fairly good number for Exeter. I don’t mean to say count on it but they never said they were closing their waiting lists.</p>

<p>@preplife:</p>

<p>You are right. Exeter is not closing, they are just keeping it open in case of attrition. Probably the same with Hotchkiss.</p>

<p>What’s attrition?</p>

<p>I’m a late applicant applying for choate and i submitted my application mid may, does anyone have an idea when i would be notified if i got accepted or not? thanks!(:</p>

<p>The regular application deadline for Choate, and most other top BS, was in mid-January. If you applied in May as a late-applicant, then your chances of being admitted for Fall 2012 are pretty much zero, unless you are an Olympic-class athlete, your last name is Kennedy, or your parents are willing to fund the building of a new library.</p>

<p>Yes. It is hard to believe, but when my kids were there they had classmates who were all of the above. However, I think that all of the schools do quietly make room for a few students who apply over the summer.</p>
