[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think after three years, you'll get a spot you want.[/quote] You're the second person who has said something to this effect, but wouldn't the statisticians among us say that you have no better chance at pulling good numbers in your successive rounds than you would in your first? I don't think that playing repeatedly will guarantee entry to the desired schools (especially with fewer slots in K than PS3), and I would be scared to rely on the chances of that and fail to make other plans, like moving to an area with a better IB school or investigating private if you're in the position to do so. I worry that this optimistic attitude, actually useful in other areas of life, might not yield the best results in this situation. [/quote] By "the statisticians among us," I hope you are not including yourself. More rolls at the die mean a better shot at hitting the right number if it only needs to be hit once.[/quote]
