[quote=Anonymous]The only "strategy" I had last year was to put down my in boundary school, which has traditionally accepted all applicants. Good thing I did, because that's where we are (had a terrible lottery draw), and we love it. OP, if this is for PK3, I would apply to all the schools you really want if there are any slots (so not, e.g., Ross when it takes no OOB students, but yes to MV or whatever popular schools that may only accept a few students). Then I would add a few schools in that are likely to take you--Bridges (we had almost the last # and got an offer before school started), your IB school (assuming it has spaces for everyone), etc. Also for those of you who are IB for a dual language school--now that the preferences are back to in boundary before out of boundary with sibling, you are more likely to be successful at schools like Bancroft and Powell, which in the past at least have waitlisted some IB people (at least in the initial lottery).[/quote]
