[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again, Our final list and we submitted this morning ... and now we wait!

1) stokes French
2) stokes Spanish
3) yu ying
4) inspired teaching 
5) dc bilingual 
6) mundo verde
7) Sela
8) capital city 
9) el Haynes 
10) lee Montessori
11) creative minds 
12) bunker hill[/quote]

Looks like a well thought out list, OP! One thing, since Sela makes a lot of initial offers and clears it's list very early in the summer, [b]just be aware that you are pretty much guaranteed to get an offer by June and all of the schools below will drop off[/b]. If you truly prefer Sela to your numbers 8-12, then that's great. If not, then consider moving Sela below them.[/quote]

I don't think this is true for waitlist movement (that if you get an offer for a school that schools ranked below fall off).  I think that is only true for the initial lottery.  [/quote]

Good point, you only lose your spot when you enroll at the school. So OP could get an offer at Sela off the waitlist, decline, and stay on the rest of the waitlists. But what's the point of listing it if you're going to decline to hold your place at other schools? Although, last year Sela had 50 seats for Pre-K3 and 10 on the initial waitlist (and fewer than 10 on the waitlists for previous years). So odds are still good she'd get matched there in the initial lottery and lose those other schools immediately.[/quote]
