[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just saw a post on the MacArthur thread that a student commutes from Anacostia, so I hope your daughter makes friends who also live by you all. It will make the commute better for her!

Let's not mistake that Hillcrest is a beautiful neighborhood!

DCUM is a strange place OP. [/quote]

OP here! Thank you for this! It really is so strange… as a first time resident of DC and while I am familiar with many schools in dc becuase of friends or work affiliates I certainly wasn’t as prepared when I entered the lottery 8 months ago.

If you had posted for advice to DCUM 8 months ago, we would have helped you figure out something better. Now you’re in a literally impossible situation. The only solution is to switch your DD to Eastern and let her get there on her own and keep other DD in Stokes; or hope your younger DD gets into Stokes East End and you have the time to do both drop offs and work.

OP here… I applied to multiple schools for each of the children in close proximity to eachother… what better would have been figured out 8 months ago? 
For my 10th grader who is currently waitlisted at Latin and truth… was ineligible for Banneker and Walls. 
My youngest who is waitlisted at GDS, Hyde and several others what would you have suggested differently?

If you had asked here 8 months ago prior to the lottery *everyone* would have told you it was an astonishingly bad plan to depend on the lottery instead of IB choices. If you had asked prior to buying your home in Hillcrest we would have told you that unless you were willing to send kids IB it was a bad idea.

what we would have told you is, rent IB where you can send both your kids. [/quote]
