I'm the poster with the kid who was around #50 on the waitlist. I could be wrong--someone who attended correct me if I am--but I believe there were 0 slots for any of the upper grades. Only PS3 slots were available.

No spots for first grade yet. Everyone is on a wait list.

50 is good - they said they got through 50 on the WL last year, and with the move I am sure they will go through more this year. Good luck! I wish they would post the list online so that I don't have to wait for a postcard.

Yes I agree - would have expected more applications.

CM isn't as well known as many others and is relatively new. If it wasn't mentioned on DCUM, I would have never heard of CM.

Curious when they will start making calls to those who got in. I think the chance for non sibs is something like 4% so sure we are not among them.

I attended. I believe it was 34 spots and 380 applicants. Of the 34 spots, I believe the first ~15 or so went to siblings.

My kid was around #50 on the waitlist. Not terrible, but not holding my breath.
