Hi, thank you for posting this. Looks like the odds are high if one apply for either of these schools are first choices.
Do you know how we can get the odds data for the Palo Alto and Cupertino immersion programs?
Thank you!

You’d have to contact those school districts to find out. I believe the Palo Alto program is quite difficult to get into, or at least it has been in years past.
