[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi Swami! What do you think of my pre-K 3 list? We live in Brightwood and proximity is key for us, but including MV 8th st since it’s a decent shot at immersion with the new campus. Really feel like the only order that matters is what order to put Breakthrough, Sela, Whittier and Bridges, since those are most realistic. Still have room for one more school.
1. Dc bilingual 
2. Cap City
3. EL Haynes
4. YuYing
5. Mundo Verde - 8th st
6. Whittier (IB)
7. Breakthrough Takoma
8. Sela
9. Creative Minds
10. Bridges
11. Breakthrough Petworth[/quote]

Not Swami but hi, neighbor!

It seems like you value language immersion and don't have any other montessori schools listed here - I'd think about that when ranking Breakthrough vs Sela. You also may want to list Whittier below both of those unless you visited and really liked it because you'll likely get in there and forego your chances of Breakthrough or Sela.

Did you visit Cap City? You've listed it pretty high IMO. vs MV and Haynes which both have good middle/high feeders and great reputations.

Bridges is in the right spot on your list. Have you considered ITS to round out your list? Or CMI?[/quote]

Everything below Whittier is not worth listing, you're guaranteed there I believe - or at least chances there are much higher than any that you have put below it. So, consider if you truly prefer it. If not then put it below the others (knowing that acceptance at them would then knock off Whittier). You do not need to fill out the whole list. Just list as many schools as you want.

Similarly, Haynes being above Yu Ying and MV, acceptance there will knock off those two, both of which are much harder to get into at PK3 - so your list kind of gives you no chance at those. Cap City is a great school I've heard and if you're nearby even better.
