Wait List

Students who meet the basic requirements for acceptance but were not accepted on the first round of admissions are placed on the “Wait List”. After the current student registration deadline, we know which students are planning to attend and which have decided on other schools. If spaces are available, students are selected from the Wait List by the Admissions Committee. Students on the Wait List are not assigned a numerical priority since the committee’s choices are partially based on the make-up of the class at the time openings occur. Usually, spaces are available just after the registration deadline and more occur over the summer as families move or other decisions are made known to the school.
