Waitlists: what was your original number and how far did it move?

[Anonymous]

This is surprising to me. I think we moved maybe 4 spots on any of our wait lists, and only got accepted at our in bounds school!

The higher up on the waitlist you are - the less you move.

NP here. Hey PP, you're an ass. And an ignorant ass at that. DCPS released round 2 data, DCPCSB didn't even do that. And no one releases the data that OP inquired about. Go away, trolly troll.

P.S. I hope you don't have kids. I don't want to live in a world where you are molding the youth of america.

np here. you pointed a finger, pp. But three point back at you. Mind your own behavior.

What??? Seriously, is this entire board populated by School Within A School parents? Jeez. I lashed out at the poster - I own that. I did it because they were ignorantly rude to a legitimate question. My response was warranted, their's was not. Sometimes in life you say and do things that will get you slapped. That's life.

If anyone is ever looking for a good example of irony...see above.

Not entirely clear you understand what "irony" is...

We had what looked like good numbers at several hrcs for the upper grades... And saw almost no movement on the lists and got in nowhere.

Judging by the waitlist numbers, CMI and DCB is so much more popular than ITS. I wonder why?

I am guessing because people want their kids to have some sort of language background? Should point out here that CMI just offers exposure in Spanish and Mandarin. DCB offers true bilingual Ed.

I wouldn't say it's a big difference (one person went from 90s to 40s with ITS and 90s to 50s with CMI). But based on what I know 1) CMI is preferred by some due to very small class sizes (CMI offers Chinese and Spanish and ITS has Spanish exposure), 2) ITS did not have that many siblings this year and 3) location of CMI is 10 minutes closer for many NW families.

Why do people like to pit other schools against each other? I'd jump to go to either one of these schools!

This.

Just be happy with the school you've picked or are interested in.
