[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]17:30 here.  15:42 are you IB as well?  Yikes. It feels like Brent is a throwaway (and likely Maury as well?) Think I can get a spot OOB at Ludlow?)   What is DCPS going to do when kindergarten starts on the hill?!

Can I delete an application I already submitted and re-do it?[/quote]

Given that you're applying to SWS, I'm assuming you're looking at PK and NOT PS (PK-4 is the entry year this year) I would agree that Brent is a throw away pick.  Last year they admitted 3 in-bounds (one with sibling preference) and waitlisted 14 in-bounds kids.   If you were looking at PS, then you have one new slot for your six picks as SWS will drop off.  I would still encourage you to think hard about Brent.  Last year they waitlisted 9 in bounds kids and the last one just got offered a spot last month--yes, in January!  For what it is worth, we are in-bounds for Brent and will be applying for PS and PK for our kids.  We don't expect to get in--especially the PK--and are likely ranking another school higher just to avoid having our kids at two separate schools.

As an alternative, consider Tyler Traditional,  Miner, Payne, or JO Wilson just so you have an acceptance at one school in your pocket.  I was going to add Ludlow Taylor to the list, but checked last year's stats and was amazed to see that they didn't admit a single OOB kid straight from the lottery last year.  We were OOB with Proximity and waitlisted at #9.  We never got a call there, but I have a feeling that is more to do with "sloppy" waitlist management more than anything else.

Also, yes you can delete an application and resubmit.  If you created an account it is pretty easy to do, but if you didn't you'll have to call to have it done.  [/quote]
