[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seriously, I really want to understand. Shouldn’t this be an automated process by now? It’s ridiculous how long it takes to get results. [/quote]

I totally agree but part of it is that they need to check the TAG eligibility for kids who are applying for those programs.   They also have to look at kids who get spots at different schools and then make the changes to the lists accordingly.   They also have to deal with Sibling Preference.

I played around with the numbers last year and there were 4800 lottery applications and some of those had multiple applications for multiple kids.   The lottery application numbers seem to be sequential and I went to the look up page and changed the last 4 digits of the application until I got a "no application with that number" message.

I agree that it should be automated but automation often makes mistakes and no one wants incorrect lottery numbers to be released.

To add.....I am also going out of my mind waiting for the results!  [/quote]
