Because I am curious where a 98 scoring child will be placed. In reality we are only going to accept the first 3 or 4 choices and will go general ed if we are not going to get into those. [ Reply | More

I am very sure the 98 score will get my kid a spot in my top 4 choices. But even if not I will have a second look at the school that was assigned to my child and take it from there. I personally think that all G&T are more or less the same. It is just about logistics and how much non-white folks you'd like to see in your DC's class. [ Reply | More

oh please. you know you are being provocative here. You know that doing this may impact other kids and if you don't know, you should, that not all G&Ts are alike. presumably that is why you said you wouldn't take tag. you are a creep [ Reply | More

if a kid wanted tag, but came up in the lottery after your dc, they will get placed elsewhere. so yes, you may have potentially taken a spot that another kid would have preferred. yocan't see it because you are selfish [ Reply | More

Do you really think that after the debacle of last year the DOE is going to leave a G&T program half empty? I am very sure they put things like non-acceptances into the equation when it comes to give out acceptances. All they have to do is look at the past numbers. It's called statistics. TAG will not have a problem to fill the two class rooms. [ Reply | More

We did as 5th choice with a 98. We think we will probably get one of our earlier choices, but would definitely consider it if that is the spot we are assigned. My biggest concern is frankly gender--we have a boy and currently the school is much more slanted towards girls. I am not sure if that will be magnified either further with the new rules.

I put it as a 3rd choice. We don't have local district choice, and I'll send my dd there if we get a spot. Though, I have to confess, I prefer A or N -- but would go for Tag for the program and teachers. According to reviews, teachers at Tag seems to be great. Yet, I'm hoping to get lucky to get a spot at A :-) [ Reply | More
