With that in mind, I currently have 15 schools on my list and can only rank 12. The following schools are on my list of 15 AND on the 2022-23 list of schools with short waitlist. If I need to cut my list by 3, any thoughts on which to eliminate based on historical data? The 5 on my list of 15 and and the list of short waitlists are: Thomson, Meridian PCS, Bethune-16th, AppleTree Columbia Heights[/quote]

I'm a type A worrier, and I'm going to take an educated guess that you are too. So at the end of the day, what you want is a guarantee. A seat that your kid will absolutely get, no matter what. Out of that list, the only one that is a true, break-glass-in-case-of-emergency safety is Meridian. They have had a single digit waitlist on results day every year for the past six years, and every single one of those kids has been offered a slot by June. (https://public.tableau.com/app/profile/aaron2446/viz/MSDCSeatsandWaitlistOfferData_draft/MSDCPublicDisplay).

So if I were you, I would rank your schools in order of true preference, and take the top 12. IF Meridian is not in your top 12, I would drop your #12 off your list and replace it with Meridian. And if you really do not get any of your top 11 and end up matched to Meridian, and you decide that want to try to get a post lottery match at one of those other three schools rather than go to Meridian, then you have a very good chance at doing so AND you're not in a panic situation as you have a solid option locked in.
