I have been pretty confident that my 99 dc would get one of our top three choices. Now I am panicking that there may be 500+ 99s in the city, and I don't love choices 4+. There seem to be so many 99s on UB and I know of 4 just in my dc's small, no-name preschool. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

the one mistake many ppl make is to think that the ERB score (like a 99) is the golden ticket. It's not. Like you said there are many dc that score very high but the schools look at other things besides the ERB. In many schools, those other things hold more value than the score. GL [ Reply | More ]

^^^I have found (in my experience) that the dc interview and school report carry more weight. Also when you have your parent interview, be yourself. Don't try to impress them or tell them what you think they want to hear. They see right through that. [ Reply | More ]

Stop panicking. You'll definitely get into 1 of your top 3 choices. Guesstimates are there are 200-250 99s, which makes sense to me. You might not get into your top 2 choices, but you'll definitely get into #3. Which are your top 3 choices? [ Reply | More ]
