[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IB Maury family here with a PreK kid who didn't get into Maury despite listing it as our #1 choice. We ended up at Miner and are very happy there. We turned down waitlist offers at both Appletree OK Avenue and Appletree Lincoln Park and are glad we did so. We love our child's teachers and overall experience and have met wonderful families as well. If commute is important I'd definitely prioritize that with the knowledge you'll be in Maury for K, and none of the schools you listed will deliver a "bad" PreK experience. [b]Note that if you really want Maury then you still need to list it as your #1 choice. [/b]Otherwise there's no way you'll get in, even with IB preference.[/quote]

Not how it works.  If you list SWS above Maury, you'll get SWS if you have an outstanding number and Maury if you have a merely good number.[/quote]

OP - I'd advise you to read the lottery details thoroughly and consult with places other than this board. If you truly feel Maury is your #1 choice then you must list it as your #1. This year there were dozens of IB families who did not get into Pre-K there despite listing it at #1. If you have merely a good number as the above poster says, you will NOT get in. We had "merely a good number" it appears as even our highest waitlist numbers were only in the teens, and we did NOT get into Maury.[/quote]

I think this might confuse OP slightly. I agree that OP should list in the order of true preference, just as myschooldc advises. What should be clearer is that the master number is more relevant for getting a spot than your rankings. Rankings come into play if you get a number that is good enough for a spot lower on your list, and for the higher choices you stay on the waiting lists.[/quote]
