[quote=Anonymous]To the original poster, I too had severe anxiety about the process. There are a few nuggets of sound advice nestled in with all previous bickering. 1) Check out a map and see what is near you in terms of charters if you don't like your in bound school; 2) Visit the ones that interest you. You will get the best idea of a school in person. Test scores may matter less to you once you do this. 3) Visit a few (maybe even your in bound) that don't interest you. You may be surprised. 4) Check out all the tableau data on MSDC to be sure you aren't trying to shoot the moon with an unrealistic list on lottery night. Break your list into 3 parts: hard to get in, a little less popular and safeties. Rank them using the knowledge gained from your visits. 5) Cross your fingers. The first year is the worst, but in the end it will end up OK one way or another. [/quote]
