DD got an unexpected reject from her first-choice school last week. Two offers in hand, two waitlists. I'm a mess, she's surprisingly fine.

The heartbreak is real, but I'm aware that's about me, not her. Would love to hear from parents whose child ended up at the 'plan B' school and how it played out. Did waitlists ever move? When?
