[quote=Anonymous]My family has worked with EV twice. The first time was when our child was born and we were considering where to buy a home. The second time was when we were applying to preschool, after we had attended about 20 open houses, identified schools that we were interested in, and just needed a sounding board for ranking the schools.

We were one of many OOB families W/O sibling who put Brent as #1 on our list because we believed that we should rank schools ONLY according to preference. We did not consider admissions data from previous years that showed the number of IB families (even with sibling) who had been shut out of Brent preschool. EV informed me that if we kept Brent as our #1 choice, we would be essentially throwing out the slot (and possibly reducing our chances at another school, which someone else listed as #1 if they had a better lottery number). I listened to EV and removed Brent altogether, moving Inspired Teaching (initially our second choice) to #1. We are now at Inspired Teaching and very, very, very glad for the advice that we received.

For us, the small fee paid for the mini-session to help with the order of the schools was money well spent.
