Partially accurate, yes. People who take the name “waitlist” literally and… wait… seldom get off the waitlist. To mount a solid campaign to get off the waitlist, it’s advisable to enlist your high school counselor.</p>
<p>There’s a mom on CC who has a lot of positive experience with waitlists and offers good advice – sorry that I can’t recall her name now. I’d advise Painkiller to search the Parents’ Forum and/or post there asking for advice. Her name will probably turn up as a result.</p>
