Never heard of this school (I’m on the Hill) but just looked up the historical data and I’d say chances aren’t good. You never know year to year, but yeah…

I would wait. BASIS won’t be a good fit.

Depends on the school. What school?

It’s more of a drive but Spanish immersion. Curious if Bethune 16th St (moving to Takoma) might be a better fit? I couldn’t decide on application day where to place these two but understood CMI is harder to get into than Bethune.

It's worth getting on the post-lottery list… what number were you on your first two?

PK3, no sibling preference :

1. DCB #33
2. Stokes Brookland #25
3. Global Citizens: Match

We put it for a lottery slot when we weren’t sure if we’d have to move to DC because of the Trump administration. Well, turns out we don’t, and my husband is more likely to get laid off.

I can’t believe we got fairly lucky! Hopefully that luck applies to my local PK3 program too…best of luck to your waitlist movement! 🍀

Or at end of day like the privates usually do.

Agree, because whatsapp gets annoying as hell with the inquisitions.
