[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honest question: we matched at Sela (we put it lower on our list but we speak the language at home, so that would actually be a bonus) and got #15 WL at SWWFS. Prior years suggests little movement off the list before August or even October, but that this result is fairly likely to get an admissions offer. SWWFS is slightly easier from a commute perspective, though not necessarily enough to make a difference, especially with the van service from our neighborhood to Sela. 
A few questions for the hive mind:

--This is our first lottery. How secure is a "match" if we don't enroll until much later?

--if the WL offers go as late as October...what do people tend to do in August and September?

--most importantly - feeder status aside for a moment - is there a clear academic choice at the PK and elementary level? are there any issues with either that would give the other an advantage? Looking at the rankings and assessments (such as they are), I'm not sure ...[/quote]
I’m not sure about the after care situation at Key. I don’t think it’s guaranteed. 
I love Sela, our child loves Sela, and it has been fantastic in generally every way. The only reason we are (considering) leaving is to secure a middle school feeder pattern. I would regret leaving though[/quote]
Did you lottery and match somewhere else? Where?

Curious to know (if you’ll tell) what school you’d leave Sela for. [/quote]

Yes. I was a poster above. We matched at Key, and plan to enroll unless we get in a waitlist school of

Shepherd (WL # 7)
Lafayette (WL # 4)
Mann (WL # 1)
Murch (WL # 3)
Janney (WL # 3)

Which are really just ordered in terms of commute. All wonderful schools.

We're EOTP, zoned for Wells (fine) and Coolidge (currently not fine). I'd rather enroll in a good feeder now then face getting shut out in 5th and 6th and having to move (if we could even afford it). If we could be assured Deal/Basis/Latin/Hardy, then we'd stay at Sela through 5th.

Oh man, crossing fingers you get Shepherd because the commute to Key seems like it would be ROUGH.[/quote]

Luckily I have a large podcast backlog. History of Rome time  :) [/quote][/quote]
