Just curious if anyone has gotten an offer to a G&T after the official offers went out. I remember the speculation that the DOE would quietly institute a wait list policy. Now that school is almost two weeks away, does anyone have knowledge of this actually happening?

i don't think there will be offers. i think if you qualified and were to call up and ask for a spot at an undersubscribed school you would get it, as would anyone who moved here over the summer. i have it from a good source that there are a LOT of open g&t seats at every school but the two or three most popular.
[ Reply | Options ]The DOE keeps tweaking and changing the admissions system for gifted programs. But if it just made the programs better, people wouldn't care that much which one they went to. If they went a step further and published the curriculums and some sample work online, parents would be in a better position to decide whether it was appropriate for their child.

I think if someone did get an offer they would be an idiot to post it here. this forum has been used to spread rumors and incite crazies to new heights. if I got a spot for my kid, I would quietly smile to myself and never mention it to anyone, and certainly not on UB.

When I ride in a taxi cab with my DC I:
- Use a carseat
- Buckle him/her in his/her own seat
- Hold him/her on my lap
- I'd never ride in a taxi with my DC, it's much too dangerous!
