[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hey there OP, you're on the right track by narrowing things down geographically first. Here are my thoughts on your situation:

Appletree schools shouldn't be considered "totally new". They're fine. It's just one more site operated by an organization that has many sites. Appletree is fine.

For your chances of getting in out of boundary, see this data. https://enrolldcps.dc.gov/node/61
And then this data for waitlist movement: https://public.tableau.com/app/profile/aaron2446/viz/MSDCSeatsandWaitlistOfferData_draft/MSDCPublicDisplay

Thank you! I'd seen the Tableau dashboards, but the bigger files from the other site are really useful. Regarding these numbers, am I interpreting this correctly?
- If my in-bound school matched slots that have a lower (or no) preference, as an in-boundary applicant we'd have a pretty decent chance of being matched
- For out-of-boundary schools, to have any sort of chance I need to see that they gave at least some slots to "no preference" applicants

For Appletree, I wasn't sure if there were big disparities by location. I know they have been around a while, but this one particular location is opening in August (so, if we went there our daughter would be in their first class).

I'm no PP, but your interpretation is correct. I'd add SWS@Goding to your list b/c they don't have a boundary preference so you have a slim chance there. Based on past data, you should exclude Maury, Brent, Peabody, Van Ness and Payne b/c they didn't give out OOB spots. Consider adding Miner ES to your list as well as they typically have spots available and waitlist that moves. [/quote]
