OK, I've only recently started thinking about this. Partly because I'm really getting tired of fighting with the school system. I read through the instructions online, but one thing that I have not found out is what percentage of applicants are actually accepted. And if there are lots of kids who meet the minimum requirements, what are some of the factors that determine who get in and who don't? We actually are in a very good school within a very good school district (even though it's not a good match for my kid) so I wonder whether this will work against us--in other words, maybe the assumption is that our local resources should be good enough for us? Any insight? Thank.
