Has anyone heard from MSC this week? We were told there might be some movement b/c they didn't anticipate everyone who was offered a seat actually taking the seat and you had to register by 6/13. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

I would call. they are so nice. just say you are still hoping for a spot because of how much you loved the school's philosophy, etc. ask whether all of the spots have been filled yet. [ Reply | More

Go in person. It will show your commitment and help if there are spots and if there is any leeway. [ Reply | More

I don't think they will call you. So many people like that school and talk to Annie, and beg and plead... Friend got in by calling alot. If you are really interested you should call or visit. [ Reply | More

Maybe email Annie? Or try calling and asking for other people if Annie is not available - Tatiana Hoover (school manager I think), or Susan Rappaport or even Claudine or Darlene (assistant principals). They really want committed parents there so being persistent will not hurt you. [ Reply | More
