LAMB Lottery

Anonymous
09:55 here--I didn't get the full story since now my husband's at work. But, I believe the 870 applicants were for PK3, and the 11 slots were non-sibs. He said that of the 11 slots, one child was a twin, so the sibling got in, thus bringing total available slots afterwards down to 9.

Yes, they did the lottery by computer--a website that allows you to input all names and generates a random list of the names.

we applied but already decided not to go even if we get in and did not know how to withdraw our application, so maybe there will be others out there like this that will help?

I called about 20 mins ago and the guy who answered the phone said they will be calling the parents of students who got in today and emailing the others by Tuesday. I'm pretty disappointed that there are so few slots, will it be the same for Yu Ying you think?

From what I know from YY and their PK3, it will be fully subscribed by siblings, and everyone else will be waitlisted.

Same with CM, same with YY...etc.

Yes, if any of the 10 families (since one was twins) gets a call, please let us know!

For Yu Ying, no, NOT the same for PK4. There will be some non-sibling spots, just unclear how many. Last year there were 35, and it will probably be less this year, but that is still a good number compared to other similarly-popular schools.
