Wait Pool
If no space is available at the time of inquiry, eligible applicants who are accepted into our program may be placed in our Wait Pool. This Wait Pool pertains exclusively to the school year that the applicant applied to, not to future years.
A Wait Pool differs from a Wait List. With a Wait Pool there is no predefined order when it comes to if/when a student will be offered a seat. If a space opens up, the students on the Wait Pool are reviewed to determine who is offered the spot based on a range of factors.
