There are four types of enrollment decisions that could be received:

1. Acceptance

3. Acceptance - Placed in to Wait-pool
4. Denied Admissions

Once an enrollment decision is made by the Admissions Committee, the Admissions Officer will send the family the official enrollment decision letter via the e-mail addresses provided in the application.
