To answer my own question, yes. We just got in from the 11 spot. And we had it as our 12th choice.

Good for you if you're happy about it and will take it, but this is exactly why the lottery is still flawed. As many families who are dying to get into Mundo Verde, to me no one who lists it 12 should get in if there are hundreds who listed in in the top 3.

Jealous much? PP got a good general number. She is likely to get in another school that she ranked higher. Even if she doesn't and accepts MV, it is still in her top 12, what should she do not enroll in any school?

Honestly I'm relieved but in the end we will probably get in elsewhere later in the summer. At least I won't have to eat a deposit for private pre k.

Unless she created the current lottery, my issue is not with her and if you actually read my post, you'd be clear on that. Of course she should register if she wants to. My issue is that if/when this lottery really gets it right, more people will be matched according to their top 3 and they'll find a way for people to not get into a school that hundreds have ranked in the top 3 and they've ranked 12. If the idea is better matching, then it's the same number of spots, but honestly someone who ranked MV in their top 3 would get a call before this person did. That's just my opinion, but feel free to get all hot and bothered about it if you really want to. No one is telling this poster who got in not to enroll.

I'm the poster who just got the call for MV and I agree that the lottery is aggravating. Here I am getting a spot that would be much coveted by another family and at the same time I am in the same boat in that there are 10 other choices that I wanted more and am not geting. I've already declined an offer from my 11th choice.

First, thanks for understanding the point I was making. I appreciate that.

Second, if you were already matched with and turned down your #11 spot, why did you get a call from MV? Or I guess you were matched after the initial lottery?

So if you already declined your #11 choice, are you not going for MV as your #12? Or did your ranking change after the fact?

To be blunt we really added MV on at the end just to have 12 choices. It was kind of a "why not?" type deal. Our 11th choice was Garrison which my spouse just won't do. Its our in boundary school and my spouse hates the grounds.
Our no.5 choice is Hearst and we are #3 on the waitlist and we are hoping that will come in soon.

Thanks for offering additional info, pp.

We were in the low 20s at MV and just got an email that we were matched for PK4 (strange to get an email on a Sunday night, but I guess this happens automatically once the person ahead of you declines). Not sure if we will take the spot but wanted to post in case anyone slightly below us is wondering what number they are up to. Also, I could have sworn I checked on Friday and we were still in the 20s, so not sure what happened to move things so much.

last year we were number 390-something for MV so hope this story gives some hope to people completely shut out during their first year in the lottery.

Right. I'm the PP from above with the #11 waitlist that cleared today. The number didn't count down. They just emailed out of nowhere. So this is anecdotal that although your wailist number isn't changing much or at all things are moving in the background.
I kind of prefer the count down.

I'm surprised MV has made it that far down the list. Have they added an additional class? Is the shine off VHRCS?

I'm an earlier poster too, and found it strange that we received an email on a Sunday too.

We were #11 on the K list. We will probably stay at Powell as an OOB family.

Very. I had numbers for PK4 all in the 70s for 5 other HRCS (YY, CMI, etc). My MV number was in the 130s. Big difference.

We may be in the same predicament. What factors led to your decision to stay at Powell?
