What's the problem with that?

Some people in schools already did the lottery and do not want their current school to know.

The school knows if you did the common lottery. I think most schools could really care less. Because it was posted here that there were 1st and last names posted I looked. It was interesting to see how many in PreK3 from my HRC tried for LAMB.

Your school does not know that you applied to the common lottery. They know the # of people per grade, but not specific people.

LAMB is not in the common lottery. I said your school doe not know if you applied there.

And those of you who think the administrators of other schools are culling the waitlist to see who applied are delusional.

Also, a lot of older parents with all of those twins. (Either IVF or the ovaries going out in a blaze of glory with all guns firing).

Those double set of names may not all be twins. Based on a grouped set I know on there, one is the older sibling with the younger sibling joining with him on the same number, which was higher for the older sibling than for the younger..It is all the same in the end, however, because when one gets in, the other does too.

Calm down overdramatic, read the one liner with humor and chill out just a bit.

Why would a school care if you applied to anther school?

I think all the lottery lists should be public and listed by name. Transparency is a good thing in a process like this and someone's name isn't information that isn't already public so it can't be used for identity theft purposes.

Children's names are not "already public". You will not find these rising pk3 and pk4 students names out there on the Internet.

Just double checked from the year our child entered LAMB and all names were listed then. Add this to the list of If This Is Going To Bother You, Please Apply Elsewhere.

With 27 approx 27 PK3 spaces, how possible is it that someone with a number in the 30s get in?

Agree. Last year (when according to some only initials and DOB were listed) there were all sorts of rumors and allegations on DCUM that VIPs or politically connected folks somehow cheated or got special treatment by LAMB. So this year they publish the names (returning to how it was done in years past) and people are upset that it isn't more private. Apparently they are damned if they do, damned if they don't.

Or maybe they should do the common lottery.

Perhaps. But that is up to them to decide. They see advantages in staying out. Again if this bothers you ...

Probably very good if you are willing to accept a spot at either campus.
