[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone know why those in 30 under have a chance? Wouldn’t that mean 30 folks rejected? [/quote]

I think they are just saying that historically, ~30 kids who were accepted turn out to be doing something else: private school, a different public, homeschool, w/ev. Moving. This year: don't enroll at all because of COVID! Who knows!?[/quote]

I think a LOT of people apply just for heck of it, just in case they decide to try to make it worth.  You don't need to make any plans in order to apply.  When my oldest was in headed to K, she was invited to Chinese, and then low 30s for French, which was our preference.  We declined the Chinese spot, so that was somebody on the waitlist that got in.  Then we got a call two days before school started inviting her to the French program.  We decided to decline because we had everything set up for her home school, and she was really anxious about kindergarten, and we didn't think it would be a good move.  So there are lots of reasons people decline.

I kind of wonder if there will be more availability because the notices were later this year, there were fewer info sessions, and a general sense of wanting to avoid hassle, or less availability because people expect to start virtually in the fall, so school location won't matter.  It would be a chance to try out the program without having to arrange transportation, aftercare, etc.[/quote]
