The Wait List

@ThemApples. Stay hopeful. I had mentioned at our interview at SPS a couple summers ago, a family from the WL showed up from the West Coast “happen to stop by” on their trip from the West Coast. Don’t know if it paid off, but it sure shows demonstrated interest. Let the schools know you are still interested. It doesn’t hurt to pay a visit in person.

Thanks for the advice @preppedparent and @buuzn03 . We have been staying in touch with the schools and it is great to know that things worked out for @Atria. Best of luck to you too @mtmtmt1227!

@HMom16 woot woot <:-P .

@libaya I WAS HOPING THAT THIS WOULD HAPPEN :ar! . CRH '21 <:-P

@panpacific Well, played, sir or madame, well played indeed. After our tilt of honor I trust you will join me in post #1239 where we shall fight heroically for truth, justice, and reading comprehension here and everywhere. And as always we will never fail in our sworn duty to consider the source and the posting history!

Hahaha… This is a lot of fun when you put it that way gravely repeating things like “reading comprehension” and “posting history” :))

Thank you! Staying positive! One of the school told my mother when she called them last week that no matter what, I would receive a call by Friday updating me. So now it’s just a waiting game! @ThemApples and @buuzn03

@mtmtmt1227 Good Luck! We will be rooting for mtmtmt1227kid!

What does DS mean?

Whomever gets in off the WLs, we should start a new CC tradition with a dousing of lucky student with creamed corn. I will supply the canned corn. Or we could just shower the student in a hail of popcorn! a la #1239

@hopefulandhappy Dear Son. I think someone recently posted a legend for several acronyms–was it this thread?

Creamed corn is better for dousing. And who wants to waste good popcorn? Can’t waste good snacks!

Food, glorious food! :smiley:

@lusitari you know how I feel about food! I makes me a well rounded individual! =))

If you get in on M10, one can of creamed corn dousing. Off the waitlist, you luck out and get two cans of creamed corn. Or one can per acceptance.

I think off the WL should be a Sam’s can!

Doesn’t anyone know I feel Andover went to its waitlist?

Governors went to their wait list

Westminster went to their waitlist on A8.

Does anyone know about Chatham Hall or Emma Willard? DD accepted her offer at another schools, but we were wondering.

We’re in the same boat…4.0 GPA, top 5 cross country runners in state…Many accolades and curriculars…It’s about the money, I won’t be sending in any more app fees$$. , Sad but true…It’s not about the student
