[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm surprised my waitlist number for PK3 for MV8 hasn't moved at all. Does that mean every single offer was accepted? Or is it possible the school hasn't processed the enrollments yet?[/quote]

PP here. Now I've moved one spot, so I guess they have processed enrollments. Given the newness of the school and all the uncertainty, I felt pretty certain we'd get an offer, but now I'm not so sure. I have a high teens number. What does DCUM predict for the PK3 waitlist?[/quote]

You're definitely going to get in.  They're just a little slow out of the gate, being new.  As the summer goes on, schools will give people less time to decide and movement overall will be faster.[/quote]

The campus is new but school is not.  The same people at P st enrolling P are also enrolling 8th St. so not new with the process at all.  I agree that you will likely get in.  Many people seem to think that the waitlist will move significantly since new campus.  I think it will move but not as huge as some may think.[/quote]

It will move.  At a new school in its first year, nobody is a current student.  It is easier for people to pass up an offer than to remove their child from a school they currently attend.  Also, no upper grades means none of the entering kids are siblings of an upper-grade student.  Siblings are more likely to accept offers.  The P St campus is hard to get into because there are 96 K students, and a lot of them have PK3 siblings, and the only has 32 or something PK3 spots.  At 8th St this year, the cohort sizes are more even, so you don't get that all-sibling effect.[/quote]
