[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. All IB kids didn't get into Brent PK3 this year. It looks like all the IB siblings got in for PK3, but not all IB. Big difference.[/quote]

That is a big difference, but I think the logic still stands. I know a number of people who got in to Brent with no sibling preference, which is very different from the last few years. The point is that schools change and your chances change from year to year. A school that was a long shot can become a school where you have a shot very quickly, just as a school where you think you have a good shot (like LT or JOW) can become an impossibility very quickly. Unless you have all low probability schools among your 12, it can't hurt to add a school where things might change. [/quote]

You're a super idiot. [/quote]

Be kind, everyone. It's a complex system, and not everyone has the time or inclination to immerse themselves in it. And you go a little off your rocker when you do. I speak from experience.

That being said, yes, getting into Brent PK3 this year as an OOB kid was never going to happen. But this is a smaller cohort than last year, so apply again for K. They may end up taking a number of OOB kids to fill the classes.[/quote]

Brent took half a dozen OOB kids for K this year and will almost certainly take more next year.  The current in-boundary PreK4 cohort (including those who couldn't lottery in) is a lot smaller than the current in-boundary K cohort. [/quote]

I'm the poster who put Brent and Maury on our list and the reason was that we knew we weren't going to fill up our twelve and figured it couldn't hurt because you never know. If we were to get offered a spot even mid-year we would have to consider it. But yes, we knew it was almost impossible that we would get in OOB. [/quote]
