<p>Hi Everyone, </p>
<p>Sorry for the late update. I’ve been spending a great deal of time massaging hurt egos and managing expectation.</p>
<p>My daughter applied to only 3 schools. She was waitlisted at L’ville (where she was a double legacy!), denied at Hotchkiss and waitlisted at Deerfield (along with nearly everyone else on CC! Really was ANYONE denied at Deerfield?).</p>
<p>DD wants to stay on the waitlist at Deerfield, as she really did LOVE that school. She will write a sincere letter and return it with her request to remain on the waitlist.</p>
<p>The good news for us is that she has already been accepted to a wonderful Prep school here, where her sister is already a student. So at least we have a good option.</p>
<p>For all of the rest of you - good luck! Neato, my heart goes out to you and your daughter. Your family seems to be the kind that every school would be happy to have as part of their community. I hope that your daughter is moved off one of the waitlists soon!</p>
<p>BTW, I have just canceled reservations at the Deerfield Inn that I had booked in anticipation of revisit days (guess I was a little overconfident!), so if someone wants that room, call quickly!</p>
