[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maury is a great school and it's highly likely you will get in if you are in bound, especially with twins.

Appletree Lincoln park is a good back up for PK3 and 4, then you can switch to Maury for K when you have guaranteed spots, if you don't get in for PK3. Basically you are set.[/quote]

These people don't know what they're  talking about.  You had a 30% chance of getting a spot inbounds this past year. Given that they've expanded the boundary and the huge explosion of kids in the cachement I would assume you have no chance of Maury. But you may want to check out Appletree Lincoln Park, Appletree Oklahoma Ave, Miner, and Payne.  Ludlow Taylor and Peabody have a waiting tlis for inbound kids, and Brent has a waiting list for Inbound Siblings. [/quote]

But with twins, each has a 30% chance of getting in.  And when one is in, the other goes to the top of the waitlist.  So if it were this year, someone with twins is more likely than not (which, admittedly, is different from "highly likely") to get in.

OP, things change over 3 years.  Some charters will open and others will fall out of favor, move, or close.  There may be more 3 year olds then than there are now (and I know a ton of pregnant people, so wouldn't be surprised to see that being the case!).  The guaranteed in-bound admission to PK for Title I schools may expand and change the landscape of admissions.  But if you are truly flexible about where your kids go to school it is extremely likely that there will be a place for them in PK3.

Now that you can set your mind at ease for that, how are you going to pay for child care for the first three years? ;)[/quote]
