How far on the WL do you think the big 3 MS will move?
BASIS Latin Cooper Latin 2nd street Per last year, Cooper offered 41 spots, but this year, they started with 71 off the bat (vs 73) and they had a whopping 26 siblings. |

I predict not much movement. People seem pretty satisfied with Cooper and the new building time is one year closer.
I'm hoping the ITDS list moves for 6th. |

We are at a DCI feeder, looked at Latin, went to the open house and decided no, did not even lottery for it. I think some families with the option of DCI are just playing the lottery to see what they get and if they get a spot, then start to evaluate it and compare their options instead of doing it beforehand. |

| I don’t get that. Why do the lottery in the first place? |

Why put energy into researching a school if the odds of admission are low and random? |
