Not Swami, but would you mind sharing why you ranked Langley so high? |

Swami, I put my two children, Pre-K-3 and Pre-K-4, in the lottery with the same entries. Where do you think they will get in?

Swami hopes you ordered these in true preference, because otherwise, you win the least understanding how the lottery works list of the year. TR is a wasted spot, but your confusing list will still work in your favor when you are awarded a spot at MV 8th, and hastily drop Langley from your list before you get a waitlist offer. You will spend the first three Padres meeting arguing about walking kids to Turkey Thicket. Also, being married to Katie is the reason Tom invents drinks like "Toulouse your Mind" -Swmai |
Your double draw on inbound MR will end you up there in English, and at the top of the Spanish list. Swami wants to know how the heck you put the rest together and if you have a helipad. -Swami |
True preference based on commute. I admit that I have no idea what I'm doing.
|
|
I have the same list as almost everyone I know:
1) Latin 2) Basis And that’s it. 5th grade. No preference, other than not wanting to move! |
| P.s.: By no preference I mean no siblings already there! |
New lottery player understand the lottery! Swami says that you, (ugh swami universe) are going to be our womp womp of the year. You'll get in to WJ on Friday and feel good as you watch the MV numbers moved, but still end up chosing Langley over Garrison and WJ when you get late summer offers for all these. You will table the farmers market next year. |
Swami thinks you need to make more friends. Your kid will get into Basis, you'll take it, and your kid will have homework overload culture shock. You also won't let him metro alone despite his best efforts to convince you. |
Not me! My list (5th grade) is 1. Basis; 2. Latin; 3. 2 Rivers. Oh Swami, please tell me we will get Basis! (I know we won't get latin )

Thank you Swami! I'll be there with bells on! |
