Swami needs to know if these are WL numbers today or at initial release


These are as of today.

swami doesn't want to put all her swamiing on the line, but she thinks yes at 2 of the 3. Crystal ball still determining which ones (numbers not in the mix)

We will be moving to DC and applying for the lottery next year for PK-4 slot. Can you just make my list for me? But for real do you consult on lists pre-lottery?


Swami says don't fret, and don't fall prey to people who charge on being education consultants. I swami for free.

You must have a very, very good master number. There are 30 IB kids on the PK4 waitlist at Brent.

I can't imagine a world where your kindergartener won't get in. Swami?


Swami thinks that you, personally, will be the ultimate test on whether LAMB intends to allow in order grades or add additional PK3 or PK4 children to reach their ceiling in the primary environment. So swami sits with you, thinking 65% no, 35% yes.


Does it change your analysis that the K child has a sibling matched for pk3?


Swami thinks you, just you will be the "look we let in kids past entry years" person.
