I know that the conventional wisdom is generally to accept a waitlist position, submit a LOCI, and then mostly forget about the waitlist school because the chances are slim. On the other hand, the next week or so seem like prime waitlist activity, and it’s hard to 100% commit to the current school when there’s even a small possibility of coming of the waitlist at another school. It makes things like buying plane tickets a little fraught—e.g., Do I buy the cheap non-refundable tickets or do I get the more expensive refundable tickets? FWIW, as much as we are thrilled with D24’s school (Swat), I suspect that there’s a better than even chance that D24 would go to her sole waitlist school (Pomona) if offered a spot, although it’s certainly not automatic.

Well, damn. D24 was offered admission off the waitlist from Pomona today. What a wild ride. We shall see . . . .

For the superstitious, I didn’t purchase airfare to Philadelphia, but we did receive the Swat sweatshirt yesterday.
