[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am confused by the PK3 data.  If Miner has early action , why are there any IB PK3 students on the waitlist?[/quote]

They may need to add a class to accommodate them, or see whether everyone accepts. The situation could have already changed -- these are a month old at this point. [/quote]

But if the data is of March 31, why were those IB students not admitted under the guarantee?[/quote]

Call the principal. [/quote]

You have to list it as your first choice to be eligible for early action.  [b]If you list it as your 2nd or lower choice, you're not guaranteed a seat - which seems fair to me[/b].[/quote]

Whaa?  No, definitely not true.[/quote]
+1 not true. You rank in the order you prefer and you are guaranteed the spot[/quote]

Definitely.  I and everyone I know ranked our IB last because that's the only thing that made sense with the guarantee.  Most of us matched there and none were waitlistee.[/quote]

Last year (15-16) you had to list it first. They changed that (and I know this doesn't explain why there are WL IB students at some early action schools)

From the DCPS website re early action:

To secure their seat at your school, in-boundary families must submit a My School DC lottery application by the Wednesday, March 1st, 2017 11:59 pm deadline. Families will only receive the Early Action PK3 or PK4 match for a school if they are not matched to any other school. Therefore families are encouraged to rank their Early Action Pre-Kindergarten school as their first choice on the application.

If the child is matched with the in-boundary school, the family must enroll the student by the lottery enrollment deadline of May 1, 2017.

Note, if a student is matched with a PK3 or PK4 seat at a school ranked higher than the in-boundary school, the student will no longer qualify for “early action” access at the in-boundary school.[/quote]
