[quote=Anonymous]How many kids and what grades? Having multiple is going to help because if one of them gets a spot it will help the others jump up the list.

Just add every school within an acceptable commute that you would be okay with. I would include a few that are a "stretch commute."

Also, regarding your IB, you need to ask yourself a key question: which is a worse case  scenario for you next year? (1) You don't get in anywhere closer and so you figure out how to keep making the commute to the old school even though you are on your own with it. OR (2) your kids attend the IB for a year and you lottery next year and hope you land somewhere you prefer?

You just have to be realistic. Figuring out now what your best worst case option is, if post-lottery apps don't pan out, will help you feel more secure as you move forward, and also help with explaining to older kids what's going to happen (ECE kids don't need that much info but like a 4th grader needs some warning on the plan).
