[quote=Anonymous]Wow.  Ok.  Lottery stress is hard, I know.  Believe me I know.  But, look at it this way - the DCPS lottery is step 1 of what can be a LONG process.  It's not for the faint of heart, that's for sure, nor for people who like a nice, tidy, organized well in advance life.  It is possible tomorrow things will work out as you want them to, and then you can step off the crazy maker that is school choice in DC.  But, quite honestly, it's more than likely tomorrow will be disappointing.  It's also possible tomorrow will be quite disappointing, with wait list #s in the high hundreds everyplace. But remember - there are still all the chatter lotteries to come, so don't blow all you emotional energy right off.  Depending on your interests/concerns, there are probably 7-10 charter lotteries that are worthwhile.  And then you have the waist list management game.  DCPS lists move A LOT, especially after charter lotteries, and then throughout the summer.  Some charter lists move, others don't really.

For a small number of people, this is quick and relatively painless.  For the majority, it's a longer process of uncertainty.  And for a small majority, it's truly horrible.  Stay sane - most people get into a decent enough choice eventually.  [/quote]
