Waitlist Musical Chairs

Most waitlists are not looked at until after May 1st, very often it might be during the “summer melt” which is when there’s a domino effect when one kid rejects their accepted school (could be for a variety of reasons) and then waitlist offers go out. I’ve known this to be as late as August. Generally schools give you about 48 hours to accept but I guess if you should accept waitlist 2 and then get an offer from waitlist 1 you could switch again just like you did the first time around. Hope this makes sense, I haven’t had my coffee yet!
