yes you are right - I forgot this was CGAS thread. Sorry about that.
 
Still no word on CGAS waitlist appts? Figured someone on the forum would hear something.
My DS still hasn't heard anything about coming off the CGAS waitlist, so Plan B looks like the number one plan at this time :thumb:
 
My DS received a call Friday night offering him a spot at the Prep School. His Bear Den updated Monday afternoon and he had until June 15th to decline or accept. The Admissions Team is still hard at work.
 
Has anyone else been able to get off the CGAS waitlist for prep school? Or has anyone received notification if the Scholar's program has been filled/closed?

My DS hasn't heard anything either way.
 
same here, DS is always checking his email and BD for any updates. You would think they would at least send an email stating the class is filled, or something to that regard so that the kids can move on, rather than waiting on pins and needles for any news...Most colleges do send notification to waitlisted applicants, informing them that the class is filled and wishing them well at another college....

I totally understand the frustration, but believe it or not, sending out notifications informing that the class is closed actually does disservice to you. They’re not sending out notifications because it’s not closed until literally a day before reporting in (not exactly but almost), and they probably don’t exactly want you to move on just yet. Unlike civilian colleges, a spot may suddenly open up if someone breaks his ankle or his arm. Those who want it badly enough and hold on to their hopes with a semper paratus attitude are the ones who will make it in when that phone call comes in last minute asking if you still want it. I was just talking to a parent whose daughter got off the CGAS waitlist at the last minute. We’ve heard so many crazy stories, so we know it happens, and don’t hesitate for a minute just because you already put down a $500 deposit with plan B. After the swearing in day - that’s when you can safely assume that the class is closed and move on.
 
Ironic that we were just discussing this on our thread here - an official email was just sent to my DS saying this: "The Director of Admissions has closed the wait list for our Scholar Program and unfortunately we will not be able to tender you an appointment to the preparatory school program this year. A final decision letter is available which you may view from your application homepage or Bear's Den. I wish you the best of luck with your future plans and would encourage you to contact your Admissions Officer if you're interested in reapplying to the Class of 2023." So it's good to have a truly final answer for this year.
