I would try again post-Lottery. I have heard they admit students after. Maybe worth a call?

Curious- how the post lottery work when applying to the same school that a child was ineligible for in the initial lottery?

Good morning,

When MYSCHOOLDC reads a status of ineligible that means that your child did not meet the cut off score for the rubric we have set for interviews that are conducted. The decision is determined by the interview panel as I do not have any specific information to give on the students' interview and how the scores are determined.

Definitely an introduction to reality..

Rent short term inbounds for Macarthur or JR.

I know a family that rented for 3 months when their house was being renovated IB for Janney.
The cost of a short term rental is much smaller than moving for 4 years of private school tuition.
