<p>It means they are praying that some families will choke and renege when that 1st tuition payment is due; otherwise, in the dorms they will be converting singles into doubles and doubles into triples. </p>
<p>Exeter isnāt taking anyone off of their waitlist according to a Facebook post by their admissions office.</p>
<p>Thatās as expected. These top BSās overenroll a lot.</p>
<p>@stargirl3 by the time college apps come around, youāll be cruising right through them!</p>
<p>(Continued on from the Lville thread, didnāt want to go off topic there.)</p>
<p>What do you guys think about Andover taking anyone off of their wait list? My daughter is on it for 9th grade.</p>
<p>Have you contacted the AO?</p>
<p>Iāve heard from two different people on here that Andover is overenrolled as well.</p>
<p>Sorry to ask again,did anyone hear from Milton Academy?</p>
<p>oh wellā¦</p>
<p>Hotchkiss 9th grade boarding boys overenrolled as did Exeter. Wait list for both not moving any more.</p>
<p>I think āoverenrolledā is the new normal. Once schools figured out they could fit in more students, up to whatever their true capacity limit (dining hall, chapel etc.) they seem to have been willing to remain overenrolled with the accompanying extra tuition. </p>
<p>^^^The schools canāt control which āadditionalā admits say yes. Seems more likely to me that there is a higher likelihood of FA admits enrolling.</p>
<p>has anyone heard from lville?</p>
<p>@squashisawesome got off the waitlist. So thereās a possiblity.</p>
<p>from Andover:
After reviewing our most recent enrollment projections, it is clear that we are fully enrolled for the upcoming school year. We had an unprecedented number of students accept our offer of admission. Therefore, we are unable to offer admission to any additional students and will not be utilizing our waiting list this year. </p>
<p>Deerfield, Hotchkiss, Middlesex all went to the wait list for 9th grade this year, though they did so before April 10. They are not moving now, all closed as is the case with Choate, Exeter and Andover.</p>
<p>Thanks for letting us know!</p>
<p>There is webinar on SSAT that is starting now. It is supposed to provide advice on BS and wait list if you receive no acceptances.</p>
<p>Iām on now. Join me!</p>
<p>I watched the seminar too, the guy asked my question!</p>
