Swami Waitlist Predictions

My son started at #11 on the wait list and now he sits at #16 (and growing...I'm sure). Anyone have predictions on how deep they will go into their wait list this year? (If it wasn't obvious, we are not IB.)

The popularity does seem to have grown-- I'm hearing higher waitlist numbers than I ever did last year. Nevertheless, I think at #16 your chances are still very good. When the whole system starts moving in May, I'm sure you will see progress.

High 60s at LAMB for PK3. Zero hope of making it off the waitlist at any of the other schools we applied for. What are the odds at LAMB?

Not Swami but I feel like you have a decent chance.

We are in the low single digits for K at Lee and aren't even sure he will get in. I saw that two years ago only one kid got in off the waitlist for Kindergarten. I'm hopeful there will be good movement this year but it seems like Lee has gotten really popular so I'm trying to prepare myself that it might not happen. Really hope the list moves for both of us though. Good luck!

Stokes French 59
MV 143
DCB 106
ITS 86
TR4 122
Lee 53
TRY 56

Swami thinks there is literally no hope. None.

So harsh? Not even for Stokes EE French? Come on, we are #2!

I think Swami was agreeing you have no hope of avoiding Stokes EE because that’s where you will get in- hoping to join you!

Oh, yes. Sigh. Can I really drive there from Bloomingdale? Really? No.

Get on the Friendship Armstrong waitlist and try again next year. #Notswami

#12 at Creative Minds for Kindergarten. Chances are pretty good, right? But we also have a child the year behind (so PK4 next year) who's in the 100s on the CMI waitlist. Chances both kids will get a spot at CMI by August???

Love ya, Swami!

I wonder how Swami knows the commute is brutal without knowing where OP lives.

You didn't see that news item this year where a child was pulled by their hair by their teacher in the hallway, caught on camera? For instance.
