Waitlist
Waitlist
There is a waiting list. Waiting list applicants are those whom the school would really like to admit, but cannot due to a lack of space. Waiting list placements are not automatic; the Admissions Committee informs families by email. There is no fixed order on the waiting list; when a space becomes available, the admissions team reviews the entire waiting list. Among equally qualified applicants, places are offered based on criteria such as current/former students of sister schools and their siblings, children of alumni and staff, extra-curricular interests, and other factors; the school also reserves space for international applicants when possible. Families on the waiting list must reapply the following year if they remain interested.
