Any news from the Wait List?

Two more things to think about:

1.Some folks apply to schools for the first time throughout the spring. I don’t want to depress jahphotogal, but if a late applicant walks in the door in May and has skills/scores/etc that are a profile match, s/he could be offered a spot even though there are kids from March 10 still on the waitlist. I can’t speak to how common this is at LC. I know it happens at other schools.


Kids who are already enrolled in the school will drop out or leave over the summer. Not tons, but a few will. This might cause a school to go to its WL for those seeking admission to 10th or 11th grade. Last year we lost a student late in the summer, and an offer was made (with hefty financial aid) to a student on the waitlist. Since they are both in the sport I coach, I think it was a case of finding a profile match. I don’t like to offer false hope, but sometimes, lighting will strike.
