[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A consultant can correct your understanding of the lottery process and stop you from screwing it up. But they can't actually improve your odds if you have understood it right. They can proofread your list to make sure you haven't confused different locations of the same school. But we can do that for you too, for free.

They sometimes have information like if a PTA reaches out to them-- I used to email EV at this time of year when I was doing PTA, because I thought she was kind of negative on our IB school and I hoped that sharing iReady scores and things about the kids' activities would be helpful. But it's nothing that you can't get here or by asking around. And working with a consultant means you're incorporating their own perspective, bias, assumptions, blind spots, etc. [/quote]

All of this. There are also several good videos on the lottery process on YouTube (put out through my school I’ll try to find the links but they are likely on the resources tab on the my school site) that will make the process very clear for you. I actually got a better understanding of the lottery from those videos than from Downey (I went to an info session sponsored by our daycare) because she has a vested interest in making it seem more complicated than it is.[/quote]
