Swami says you love a good commuting challenge, and it's good. You will get into Sela on first pull, and reorder your list rapidly because you aren't convinced that you prefer Bridges more than ITS after all, even if it is convenient. You will figure out the secret backroads to ITS after you get in, and find another family to share carpooling with.

Swami says that people will enroll and disenroll throughout the summer as they get into their choices 1-9 instead. Swami says this will be the year that IB parents choose Langley over Seaton or Garrison.

I am definitely noticing a decrease in Bloomingdale families going to Garrison. Back when DC6 lotteried for PK3, everyone listed Garrison above Langley and some had IB rights to both, but watching DC3's friends lottery this year has been different. Seaton and Cleveland are still popular but those schools have an advantage in being so close to the Shaw metro and G8 bus line, and to Bloomingdale itself. Garrison seems to be just a bit too far to the west and off the metro, so it's a heavy logistical price to pay for something not that different from Langley. At Cleveland, at least kids in the English classroom have the remote possibility of getting into the Spanish classroom through the internal lottery.

I think this is the first year it will be pretty tough to get into Seaton and Cleveland OOB as a non-sibling, maybe the first round seats will all go to IB kids. Probably to Langley's benefit.

So Swami wants to you if you agree with Swami's Swamiing?

I agree that parents will choose Langley over Garrison except the few for whom Garrison is more convenient. I do not agree that this is the year Langley will edge out Seaton in people's preferences, because of Seaton's location and it being just a year or two further down the gentrification path. However, there are some people already choosing Langley over Seaton, and more and more people will not get in to Seaton anyway. So I think it's going to be a great year for Langley as the new principal gets her footing.

Please don't leave me hanging, wise Swami...

Swami hopes you like to drive and are ok being anxious, because unless you have a sibling, (you didn't indicate), you will be shut out everywhere next Thursday at 11pm. You will eventually get into Bridges and decline to stay at your current care situation.
