[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] We listed schools higher than Latin (BASIS plus DCPS schools with better feeders). I know it wasn't totally rational because if we got a high enough number for BASIS, the latins would drop off the list. But that was our true preference. Maybe there are others.[/quote] This is what we did, too. Everyone has recommended the Latins above BASIS, but my kid has wanted to be an engineer since he knew what that was, he lives and breathes math class, and he loved his shadow day there. I knew there was almost zero chance we'd get into one of the Latins and not BASIS, but almost zero is not the same as zero. It's always possible there will be some kind of statistical anomaly, where the high numbers are disproportionately assigned to STEM-focused kids, or the current BASIS kids all have twin siblings in fourth grade. In any case, if he couldn't get BASIS, the Latins would be our second choice, and I trusted Al Roth and listed my actual preferences.[/quote]
