Managing Outcomes
1) Admitted:
If your child is admitted, congratulations! Take your time to consider your options. Here’s what you should do:
- Speak with parents who have children who attend the school where you are admitted.
- Consult with our team book a consult here.
- Visit the school.
- Ensure the school is the perfect fit for your child to the best of your knowledge.
- Read the contract thoroughly.
2) Not Admitted:
If your child is not admitted, please remember that it’s not a reflection of your child’s worth. Here’s what to keep in mind:
- Understand that there is usually nothing you can do to change this result.
- Seek available feedback to help inform your child’s educational journey.
- Do not internalize the rejection; there are many reasons for it, such as your child did not meet the criteria for admission, they needed more boys than girls, or they were trying to fit a particular age range into the class.
3) Waitlist:
If your child is placed on the waitlist, there are tasks to complete should you wish to have a seat at the school. Follow these steps:
- Ensure you follow the school’s directions to remain on the waitlist.
- Inform your support team, including your consultant, school director, or outplacement advisor, about your desire to take a spot if it becomes available.
- Advocate for your child by writing to the admissions office expressing interest.
- High school applicants may benefit from advocating themselves.
