The Wait List

Prep School Admissions
741

Has anyone on the WL for Blair Academy heard anything?

742

Spoke to Milton today. They will not be going to the wait list for 9th grade day students.

743

Any information on Exeter??

Does Exeter usually release waitlist information later than other schools?

744

Just got off the waitlist to Peddie!!!

745

I just got off the waitlist to Peddie also!! I am torn between Hill and Peddie though.

746

@jena0408 Which grade did you apply for? But Congrats!!! I am planning to go for sophomore year

747

Took as a good sign
receiving AO call on 4/10 
measuring interest + availability (!!!)
which was amply expressed. But no word. Question to all of those who have gotten off wait lists
offered via phone, yes? And did you have a heads up? Had they reached out prior? Did you expect it? Or out of the blue? @jena0408 @ajsmiles12 and anyone else who wants to chime in. Thanks. Argh.

About a week ago, I talked to my AO to confirm my interest in the school. She just said if there were any openings, that she would ‘root’ for my application. Today I just received a call and email to confirm my acceptance! So no heads up, I wasn’t really expecting it but it was an AMAZING feeling :slight_smile: So everyone on a waitlist, don’t lose hope! @mathmusicmadness

749

I was offered by email, but I think that is because I am an international student! I did not expect it at all, but as ajsmiles12 said, it is an AMAZING feeling. It is quite different than being accepted on March 10. For me, it felt like I pulled the lucky draw, because I know it is super hard for an international student, especially from a over-represented country to be accepted off the waitlist. @mathmusicmadness

750

@ajsmiles12 I was accepted for the ninth grade as a boarding student! Maybe I will see you there. :slight_smile:

751

Yes! I am so excited!!!

752

Any news from Hotchkiss?

753

We are still waiting on Hotchkiss too!

754

“There is not going to be any movement of wait list in the near term” from Hotchkiss.

755

Any on Suffield WL heard anything?

756

Ktmom7, we have not heard from Hotchkiss at all. Was the “no movement
term” statement sent via email??Thx.

757

We emailed to an AO.

758

Have you checked your waitlist status online?
My son’s remains the same, ie waitlisted since March 10th


759

Deerfield sent an email indicating that they are fully enrolled and do not expect to use the wait list.

760

We got rejection from Exeter’s waitlist,
I know that you have patiently remained on Exeter’s Waiting List and greatly appreciate your ongoing interest in the Academy. Unfortunately, we will not be able to offer any more places for this year. Our enrollment is complete for the coming fall and we do not anticipate enough attrition before the start of school to warrant keeping a Waiting List.

Although admission is not possible this year, we welcome an application from you for next year. If you wish to
apply for 2016, please reply to this email and we will notify you by email in September when our on-line application is available.



Should I just give simple reply say we will re-apply, or add a little more update for son’s recent archivement and summer plan?
