What were your 6 picks?

These all have huge waitlists. So you're prepared to strike out, right? Not a wrong strategy, just checking. |

| Agree with above...unless one of these is your inbounds school you have a good chance of striking out. I would pick an acceptable 'sure thing' as #6. Ludlow Taylor, maybe? Its not great but could provide a descent ps3 year with lots of hill kids. |

| Sorry, looks like Peabody is your IB. You will be fine then...maybe give Peabody a call and see if all IB eventually kids got in this past year. If they did I wouldn't worry. |

| Peabody did not admit all IB children for PS3 last year. |

| Hi, this is 9:24...may be worth checking to see if all IB got in off the wait list by count day in October. |

| No need to check. We are IB and id not make it off the waitlist for PS3. |

| 14:54 is correct. No need to check. I believe less than 5 kids made it off the IB Peabody PS3 waitlist last year. I think the last time I called I was told my child moved 4 spots. |

Haven't pulled the trigger, butours for PreK4 are:
1-Oyster 2-Bancroft 3-Eaton 4-Marie Reed 5-Murch 6-Maury Debating switching Murch out for Tyler Spanish. In my case, we're already in a good charter with great PreK 4 teachers and IB for Maury. Immersion is uber important and my top picks are all charters. I figured why not shoot for the sky with DCPS.lol Last year, we were WL for Maury in the single digits(I think it was 4th or 5th choice) and received a call from Maury in May. |

I would not bother with Murch, we know IB kids that didn't get in to pre-k this year. I was going to suggest going with Hearst instead but if immersion is your priority then go for Tyler. |

17:30 here. 15:42 are you IB as well? Yikes. It feels like Brent is a throwaway (and likely Maury as well?) Think I can get a spot OOB at Ludlow?) What is DCPS going to do when kindergarten starts on the hill?!
Can I delete an application I already submitted and re-do it? |

| Hi, I doubt you can redo your picks (but maybe you can?). Just wanted to chime in on Ludlow...if you happen to strike out, call Ludlow and get on their wait list. I know as of the start of the year my son's PS3 class had a few empty spots. I think they still had a wait list at this point but they didn't call people. (I know this b/c a neighbor never got a call even though LT was open about having some open spaces.) Not sure why, other than well, its LT. |

| 15:42 here-- yes, we are inbound for Peabody. We are applying again for PK4-- but give the number of In bounds kids on last years wait list (high 30s) I have a feeling there will be inbounds kids on the wait list again. |

| Are they expanding Peabody seats again this year? Thought I heard that somewhere... |

15:48 here and I never received a call either. I could just be optimistic but for those interested in Maury, they appeared to move through the WL for PS3 pretty fast IMO. I received a call from them like the week after enrollment forms were due. I took it to mean that other IB families like ours were still trying other options first. |
