Swami is going to go out on a limb and thinks you are going to find yourself at MV this fall-- between the expansion dissent and all siblings being taken care of in PK3.

Swami may be right. We got a very good MV waitlist number.

Please help me SWAMI, the anxiety is REAL!

Swami says Bethune (both campuses before May), Breakthrough on Friday with real anxiety about their location issues. You won't have numbers better than 40 at any of your top schools and buckle up for the location uncertainty.

So far you are correct Swami. Offered at MMB both locations. Is Breakthrough uncertain about Takoma Park location?

Swami please help me with my wait list and choices:

The only options I may have are

1. Bethune (offered)
2. Dorothy I Height (offered)
3. Bridges WL #28
4. Capital City WL#89
5. E.L. Haynes #83
6. Breakthrough Montessori WL #100
7. Shining Starts WL #93

Do any of these wait list move much?

Swami has one or more children, currently enrolled in DC school(s)

Swami likes the data side of things on the waitlists rather than the crystal ball guessing side.

Swami is ready to get to waitlist swamiing, and wonders why only people in Takoma are reading DCUM these days.

Swami thinks you will land and stay at CMI. You will complain about all the mid-day performances.

Swami says you will initially be cheersing Rose up the thread at ITS, but will land before count day at Cap City, unable to fight the possible high school feeder and easier commute.

Swami says you will get rewarded for your rational list, and enjoy a great year at ITS. You will, however, drink too much Rose at next year's auction and gala.

Thank you Swami! I'll raise a glass of Rose in your honor at the gala
