wondering if there will be non entry grade spot this year given the situation. We applied a couple but none of them knowns if there will be spot. When do they usually find out if there are spot or not?
They almost all have spots. The question is do they have so many slots that they cannot fill with connected people. Obviously that's not you or you'd know. So you'll know in Feb/March.
Agreed. There are always spots but for gen pop it’s after renewal contracts are back in so late spring. I know two people who got in in 1st year. One to Spence and one to Cathedral.
There will definitely be random off year spots here or there. Our current 9th grade has about 10 fewer kids than the other grades, so I assume there would be openings for 10th next year. You'll have to apply very broadly since you just won't know who has openings until contract signing time for returning families. I think the schools will place many families on waitlists and those waitlists will move. The schools won't want to commit to accepting too many students if not as many people as expected leave.

Acceptances go out after families commit. Granted, people may pull out of contracts, but still...
