[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I had to do it all over again (and I probably will next year), I would add more charters than DCPS schools to my most desirable, top 5 ranking schools. I feel like I squandered some of my 12 picks by including popular DCPS schools because you have virtually no chance of getting in with IB, proximity, sibling preferences. At least with charters, you only have the sibling preference and then it is a free for all. For DCPS, once you factor in all the various preferences, there are virtually no open seats left. [/quote] I think this is a sound approach. Granted, some of those sibling preferences got in OOB, so eventually that will all cycle through. But I think it's safe to say that if a school was full or close to full on IB only, it's not worth putting it in your list. Seeing the waitlists at the JKLM schools with 200-300 PK4 waitlisted with no preference (when they were already overfull IB) is laughable.[/quote]
