<p>If you accept at one school (due to approaching deadline) while remaining on a waitlist at another, do you let the professor you accept with know? We are thinking my D should be transparent about this, but hoping to hear from those who have been down this path. Thanks! </p>
<p>I would not, as the waitlist may never come through.</p>
<p>I agree, there is no need to tell the school that you’re wait-listed elsewhere. </p>
<p>You could really spoil your relationship with your teacher for the next four years by starting off telling him or her that you’re on the waitlist for something you prefer more…</p>
