DCPS Lottery Results

[Anonymous]

I understand results are posted March 8th. Does that mean posted on DCPS website and listed by name or reference no? This is my first time in the process.

Reference number only.

In past years they've given a time for the posting, usually in the afternoon, and they've been hours late. So maybe they are not giving a target time this year (based on what is posted above). It was close to 5 pm the past two years, I believe. (and I think they had said it would be 2 pm).

Yeah. It was after 6 last year. Don't hold your breath and I recommend having a drink in-hand.

In charter-land, Stokes and Yu Ying order their wait lists based upon when families view their lottery results on-line.

BS alert! They DO NOT order them based upon when families view them online. It's based upon time stamp of submission of the application in chronological order. You don't get to know your waitlist number until the lottery happens, but the waitlist was created starting in October 2012 when the applications were made available.

I think it's a bit funny that the Easter egg roll lottery has opened, closed, and posted results.... And we are still waiting for DCPS. This feels like forever.

[Anonymous]

Ooh I didn't realize the Easter Egg Roll results are posted. I will assume that means I didn't win tickets! Oh well...

[Anonymous]

Let's hope DCPS isn't treating these high-stakes, multi-layered (actually about three-way stacked drawings) lotteries like an Easter Egg Roll.

How's everyone doing?

Not PP, but I think it was meant as a joke about the absurdity of lottery madness.
