Just got offer for Anderson - was hoping for NEST+m. My DC scored 99%. Has a sibling already at NEST+m. I thought that prior sibling + a score above 976 meant we would get our first choice (NEST+m). How did we end with Anderson? (fourth choice) Is this a clerical error? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

We did rank sib school as first choice. our oldest child is in second grade. This (obviously) isn't a fake. I'm sure Anderson is an amazing school but our first child is happy at NEST. Who would want two kids at different schools? [ Reply | More

If they give you any trouble, tell them you have a family willing to trade spots with you. I'm serious - it would make our lives so much easier [ Reply | More

It looks like they failed to honor your sibling preference for Nest, put your dc into the lottery and your number got pulled for Anderson. They should be able to easily switch you over to Nest. There are a few people in Riverdale who are giving up Nest seats apparently. [ Reply | More

ITA, but it's entertaining to watch the desperate parents attempt to wheel & deal a seat at Anderson. [ Reply | More
