Any other schools completed filled up with 99s (other than siblings) besides Anderson, Nest and PS 9? I know there was some debate on whether Tag was (based on what was seen on Inside Schools) and it looks like 116 has 99s and 98s, LL goes down to 97 and 166 to 96. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

I got the impression that LL was mostly 99s. Also, someone posted somewhere that they had a 99, had listed TAG as third choice, and ended up getting into only their FOURTH choice. Which suggests TAG was filled with 99s. [ Reply | More

I think yield will be fascinating. If in fact Tag and Nest in particular drew rankings from the people without district options, I wonder how many will turn them down because of commute (particularly since they will have the option of using their score for first grade entry programs next year). Any calculus they used for yield could dramatically change for the future. [ Reply | More

Some are prepared to do a crazy commute for NEST. Someone posted on the Yahoo board about commuting down there from Upper Upper Manhattan. Clearly for some, it's worth it and they have that kind of flexibility in their daily lives. [ Reply | More

yes, they are in Manhattan so this is their entry year. The same is not true in outer boroughs (other than Brooklyn) and I have seen a number say they have decided against it. And frankly while they have fewer options than people with K entry programs this year, they have much better options for next year for district programs. People with entry K who turn down a citywide this year need to fight for limited district or citywide 1st grade seats next year. [ Reply | More

Based on what we've seen on UB, this analysis is correct. Would love to see something official put out by the BOE, however. [ Reply | More
