Should We Accept Another Offer While Waiting?

Yes! Waitlist spots are never guaranteed, so it’s smart to secure another school option. If your child gets into another good school, accept the offer and pay any required deposits. If they later get off the waitlist at their top-choice school, you can decide whether to switch. Just be aware that some deposits may not be refundable. Schools don’t always admit waitlisted students, so it’s risky to rely only on one option. Having a backup plan ensures your child has a place for the next school year. If your child is accepted off the waitlist, you can decide what’s best for your family at that time. Always plan ahead to avoid last-minute stress.
