CM lottery

Anonymous
I attended. I believe it was 34 spots and 380 applicants. Of the 34 spots, I believe the first ~15 or so went to siblings.

My kid was around #50 on the waitlist. Not terrible, but not holding my breath.

P.S. Re: above post, the 34 spots and 380 applicants are for PS3.

Honestly, as bad as those odds are, those are still better odds than I expected, considering it's a separate lottery and everyone who wants to can apply to the common lottery and CM. That's basically 9% getting in... yes, still totally bad odds if you really really wanted CM, but I don't know why, I thought there would be even more applicants.

Curious when they will start making calls to those who got in. I think the chance for non sibs is something like 4% so sure we are not among them.

Were there any spots for 1st grade?

CM isn't as well known as many others and is relatively new. If it wasn't mentioned on DCUM, I would have never heard of CM.

Yes I agree - would have expected more applications.

50 is good - they said they got through 50 on the WL last year, and with the move I am sure they will go through more this year. Good luck! I wish they would post the list online so that I don't have to wait for a postcard.

No spots for first grade yet. Everyone is on a wait list.

I'm the poster with the kid who was around #50 on the waitlist. I could be wrong--someone who attended correct me if I am--but I believe there were 0 slots for any of the upper grades. Only PS3 slots were available.
