Just saw this yesterday, so I am responding to the question to me.

Since DD is in a district G&T, the best in district 3, I only put the citywide, Anderson. I love Nest but it is located on the lower east side and DD's science class at the museum would be impossible to get to and her other extracurriculars are on the UWS. Since I only put Anderson, I am currently fighting for a 2nd grade spot. I keep pestering and had worked with the district advocate during the year, pleading my case. She had a great teacher and grade 1 worked, with CTY, and since her birthday is end of Sept, she is one of the youngest in the class but also the smallest so I am OK with last year but it really depends on the teacher you get.

Once you are in a district gifted, you only get citywide choices.
