[quote=Anonymous]It does vary year to year but -- if you want a DCI feeder charter (which many people do - you can debate the merits of that on another thread) -- PK4 is typically an easier year than PS3. Both MV and YY usually add a new classroom of kids in PK4. for both of these schools, I believe PS3 is usually just for siblings, with a few non-sibs added so that they can round up to the size of a full classroom (for ex: if there are 22 kids/class and 40 siblings, then 4 non-sibs would get in at PS3). At PK4, they'd add another 22 kids and almost all of them would be non-siblings. Plus, the year I did the PS3 lottery, only half as many people entered the MV lottery for PK4. So there are many more slots (perhaps ten times as many slots) and half as many people applying. So yes, it can be much easier to get in at PK4. For other schools, like IT, if they don't add a classroom at PK4, it may be equally hard both years.[/quote]
