Waitlist #1

Swami assumes Sibling? And you will be fine.

No sibling, just in-boundary preference.

Historically, all IB with sibling have gotten into PK4. Are there schools where you can be WL even if you are IB with sibling?

Yes that has happened at Brent before.

Hi Swami,

6th Grade, twins, waitlist in rank order for the higher twin:
1. DCI - French #12
2. DCI - Chinese #10
3. DCI - Spanish #19

2nd twin has low ranking (>100) but presumably will get pulled up by #1. What do you think? We are hopeful. When do you think we would know by?
Thank you!

Also, do you think if I'd put Cleveland spanish, Tyler, spanish, Powell and Bruce Monroe above these I may have gotten in?

Swami says you realize you didn't the lottery right, but will still be rewarded with a space in Brookland.

I'm pleading ignorance Swami please tell me how I was wrong...I put all choices in my true order of preference? And thanks for everything!

WL #3 at Cleveland
#15 at Seaton
#22 at Thomson

Thanks, Swami!

I feel guilty/greedy even hoping for WL movement since last year we struck out altogether. So grateful to be in this position! It's hard not to feel like a bad lottery number is your fault somehow...

Is Cleveland for Spanish or traditional?

For preK3:

Bancroft (english, IB) - #3
HD Cooke - #26
Tubman - #15
Garrison - #2
Seaton - #8
EL Haynes - matched

Super grateful to match but really hoping to get into Bancroft - how likely does Swami think that is? Assume we might end up at Garrison for commute reasons, but is Seaton feasible? Thank you Swami!
