[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't reveal my identity or the identity of the person I just spoke with but I assure you we have been intimately involved with this planning since day one.

The way we just discussed and confirmed it is that there is not just one lottery which would doom you to poor chances at 1-12 of your choices.

Rather there is effectively a lottery at each school/grade level.

just because you were last for your #1 doesnt mean you will be for your #2, you could be first.

Ranking your schools in order is the best way

And we see no need to rank your IB school if you already attend there or have sib preference and your older sib is enrolled.  You have a slot already if you did an intent form.

The schools only release to the lottery the seats they have available after re-enrollment and preferences.

This is our understanding.
