The Wait List

<p>@GMC2918‌ what do you mean FP, i am sorry I don’t know that cool lingo means.</p>

<p>FP means “full pay”. So I suspect that our declined spot may not help much unfortunately…</p>

<p>NO, you are a very big help @GMC2918‌ </p>

<p>@Hsgirl25- FP= Full Pay.</p>

<p>Thank you @PhotographerMom‌ </p>

<p>Sorry about that. The old CC format allowed us to see if someone posted an answer before we’d hit post. I miss that feature sometimes :)</p>

<p>Full pay. </p>

<p>@stargirl‌ we were FP. I’ve been so impressed with your composure, grace and humor, and I know that must come through in your interviews! Am rooting for you in the upcoming weeks. </p>

<p>Woah, I’m behind. Sorry about that, my wifi is performing some interesting things that wifi is not supposed to do right now. </p>

<p>@stargirl3 and anyone else on the wait list or in wait pool, the SSAT is hosting a webinar on 4/17 titled “Traditional Advice For the Non-Traditional Applicant”. I am new to this board so I do not know if it is helpful but I thought someone here might garner some useful advice for their given situation. </p>

<p>We declined a spot at Deerfield, it was for 9th grade, boarding, girl, FP. Good luck to you. </p>

<p>We declined at Deerfield, Grade 9 boarding boy, Full pay as well. Hopefully the wait list will start moving for some of you here. Best of luck.</p>

<p>Westminster did go to WL - I know a girl who came off the waitlist yesterday for 9th grade boarding.</p>

<p>So Andover had an 86% yield as of today April 11 and is overenrolled by 15 9th grade boarders? Exeter’s yield was high too I think. Wherever one is on the “unranked” waiting lists it looks pretty bleak. Push off the dock and sail on I guess.</p>

<p>@quonnie That makes me really wonder about how much we can buy what the AO’s say because a couple of days ago (April 9th maybe) @Momof5ct was told they weren’t going to WL for 9th grade girl boarders - I know that she hoped for FA so maybe the response was narrowly tailored to her situation, but still it’s hard to know what to think.</p>

<p>Bad news for 9th grade boarding girls waiting for Westminster. They aren’t going to Waitlist ! Here is the copied quote. So, all AO’s may not be perfect at estimating yields and I am not just cynical. :-" </p>

<p>That’s good. :slight_smile: (The part about grz not being cynical, I mean, not the waitlist part)</p>

<p>Exeter is overenrolled for the second straight year…</p>

<p>What does that mean, “overenrolled”? Does that mean they don’t have enough beds?</p>

<p>@Ispy42 It means more students enrolled than they expected, so they have to scramble for beds.</p>
