| We have sibling preference at DCI and only made it to the waitlist for 7th. #3 is not bad though but I know they are toght on space this year. What are the chances we will get in? |

| This is 7:26 again. We also got into BASIS, though I am pretty sure we won' go b/c I am worried it is too high pressure for my DC. Still, would love any feedback about WL, DCI and BASIS. TIA |

| We also got a 5th grade spot at BASIS and will probably turn it down. |

Have your child do a shadow day at BASIS. Nothing to lose. They will spend the whole day with a 6th grade class (and be assigned a buddy/escort) and get a good sense of things. My kids are at BASIS and like it/doing well. If your child has a LD or clinical anxiety, I wouldn't send them. The 'pressure' thing has been exaggerated IME. |

We will be sending out third child to BASIS in the fall. For our kids is has been a great experience. They like the cohort and the teachers, while we like the academics, the study skills/habits, and the positive school environment. We are aware of the issues some have with the school, but for us it has worked wonderfully. |

Interesting choices. How important is foreign language to you/your DC? Otherwise it's a choice between more proven/established vs new. Does the commute between the two campuses matter to you? |

| I would love DC to continue the language but not at the expense of solid academics. I had decided not to try the lottery this year and commit to DCI but lost my nerve after reviewing the DCI test scores this year. I am leaning towards selecting a more established school. Honestly, though, my decision to try the lottery was pretty last minute so I didn't attend any open houses, etc. I think I will call BASIS and ask about a shadow day. Thanks for the suggestion. |

| Did anyone match at Hardy OOB for 6th? |

| Just called BASIS to ask about shadow day. We won't be able to do a shadow day but can go for a tour. Love the idea of BASIS just worried it may no be a good fit for DC who is perfectionist. |

Well your child would meet lot of fellow perfectionists there  . You should feel free to email the HOS - tim.eyerman@basisdc.org He's very approachable and I suspect he'd be happy to chat directly with you about that concern.

I always see kids doing shadow days at BASIS. I would call and ask again if you are matched with BASIS in the lottery or on waitlist. |

+1. I think they hoped to do all of them before lottery day as the end of the year comps/AP exam periods are fast approaching...but if they hear enough requests they will probably add a couple days. Keep asking/email HOS. The registrar is great and efficient but she won't be able to say yes without talking to him. |
