<p>It’s so much easier now that I’ve seen my son do two “happy dances” around the house. (M’burg and Blair). I was able to tell him about the phone call from NMH (accepted w/o FA = can’t go).</p>
<p>He can go to school tomorrow knowing that he has a way out and isn’t afraid to check other school’s decisions because he has two in hand.</p>
<p>congrats! we only applied to sps, andover, groton. havent heard from any of them yet! how did you hear from sps? logged on to their website or via email? thx.</p>
<p>hijkim: it’s always hard to know the chances; it depends upon the yield. Last year, many good schools had a higher yield than usual, and admitted few from the wait list. They have to get a long enough list that in years when there is a low yield they can still fill the class.</p>
<p>I ended up attending MIT from its wait list, many moons ago, and others have ended up admitted to BS’s from the waitlist.</p>
