Anyone received the waiting list email?

I’ve just got the waitlist email.  and I’ve also just called the school but they are not willing to tell how high up/down the list my kid is.  So we will have to take the alternative school’s offer for now.

Same, just got waitlist email today. I wonder do they put everyone in waiting list instead of rejection.

I think there are unsuccessful/reject letters.  Waitlist should be for “successful” only.  Sure they don’t have to waitlist those who are unsuccessful.

Seems like the first batch of offers had to pay the deposit by 8/3? So the school must have already known how many spaces were “released” by those who declined the offer.

I wonder if the school had already sent out more offers (for the released spots), before they sent out the waitlist emails? Or if us waitlisted ones will be able to take up those released spots

from what I know, the first batch of offers has to be replied by last March 8 (not sure if that includes deposit or just email commitment).
There was another round of offers out yesterday, then today waitlist email.

I see... that means the second largest batch of offer is also out already... we will have much less chance

Any chance you know when is the deadline for the people who have received the offer yesterday to reply to the school?

Hello,
I got the successful result email, the key sentences are "I am pleased to inform you that XXX was successful at play visit / interview.  Unfortunately, we have reached our immediate enrolment capacity and are unable to offer XXX a place at this time."


So, is that mean they will put my kid on waiting list???? As there is no any wording of "waiting list" on the letter.


Anyone can advise?

not exactly sure but I would assume by the end of this month, similar to the first round of offers.
Maybe some will drop just before the school starts but chance is very slim now so definitely look elsewhere...

I vaguely remember that someone did receive the rejection email...

And I’ve read that most ppl on the waiting list will eventually get a spot...? Am I being too optimistic?
