[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course, you're IB school is your best safety pick because it compounds your chances by giving you preference to get in. [b]If you don't like it but want to hedge your bets, then place it last on your list. Won't do any harm there. [/b]
And please do take a serious look. I'm speaking from experience saying that going hearsay is very flawed when it comes to school. That always lags a couple of years behind, both ways, so-so schools getting better and an occasional good school turning sour. Also, teachers turn over all the time, and so do principals. Changes on both ends can make a world of difference, especially at the early childhood level, where kids spend so much time in one and the same classroom.[/quote]

I generally agree with this except that if you truly don't like it, please don't put it on your list.  It's a waste of your time because you'll only decline in the end and there may be families who actually do like the school that you'll squeeze out.[/quote]
