| We just received our lottery results, and to say we're upset is an understatement. Please share your waitlist number when you were offered a spot (or not offered) and the school. For instance, I am number 23 at schools that typically release 6-10 seats; does this mean I have no chance? The school isn't top-tier, so I doubt it's number one on many lists since there are better schools within a 2-mile radius. |

They usually make more offers than spaces--like if they have 10 seats to fill they may make 13 offers. It usually takes more offers as we get later into the school year--like in May someone doesn't have to think hard about accepting an offer, but once the kid already started school in September more families will turn down a waitlist offer.
Also your waitlist number can get worse as people move in-bounds, siblings enroll, etc. |
