[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure I’m following.  Your son is currently in 8th grade and your current home is zoned for Yorktown, but you may be moving into the W-L zone mid-year next year so you would like him to start at W-L next year in case that happens?

If so, there is pretty much zero chance of that happening.  You already missed the IB lottery (which always had a long waitlist), so that isn’t an option.  You still have a couple of days left to enter the neighborhood transfer lottery, but preference for that is being given to Wakefield over Yorktown due to overcrowding at Wakefield so the odds of getting a neighborhood transfer from Yorktown are exceedingly low (everyone I know who is zoned for Wakefield and who applied for IB but didn’t get in has entered the neighborhood transfer lottery).[/quote]

I thought that everyone who applied to IB got in this year.  DS got in for IB but turned it down. Now he’s applying for transfer. We’ll see.

Where did you hear everyone got in for IB?  Usually the waitlist is around 70-100 students.[/quote]
