#9 currently at Stokes Spanish PK3. Down from 14.

Will it move any more, or is that it?

PK3

will we be offered at either or stay at our currently enrolled match?


Swami thinks that at the end of the day you will realize you want oranges instead of apples and stay where you are enrolled.


Maybe...but do you think we'll get an offer from either of these?


Swami says yes on DCB and count day on LAMB

Swami says if you thought Langley was a safety you would have put it on your original list. You will get in, and still at the end of the day, decide to stay at your current childcare center for one more year.


Sigh. Ok, but I did not think it would be this difficult to get in!

At a bilingual charter.

How are my odds?



Swami says there's no pearl in your Oyster.

#9, down to 2, then bumped back to 3 at our WOTP IB school. Any hope of enrolling before September, or at all?


Swami says yes, don't lose hope, and take your paperwork with you to Duck in August so you can fax it back to enroll!

Swami missed the boat on Citizens getting denied.

Stokes will be approved.

MV will be asked to come back in 9 months with better plans and a new proposal before being approved for SY 18-19

I know the waitlist went further than that last year, but last year they accepted 90 in the initial lottery and this year they accepted 120. Not sure how this will factor into waitlist movement...


Swami usually doesn't respond to friend requests. Swami says your "friend" is going to be very disappointed.

Swami thinks people will say she's wrong, but Swami knows she's right. DCB. You will, after touring, choose MV

Swami back from political swamiing, can someone point out where I left off? Sometime last page maybe, so I can get back to your regularly scheduled swamiing.
