[quote=Anonymous]I think it's the new common lottery. People need to choose wisely where to apply but also need to rank within that, and that is why we are fully focused on getting to as many open houses as we can. We haven't played the lottery before (we're a prospective PK3 family), but I am learning a lot and am glad that I'm going to so many open houses. There are definitely schools that I would have applied to last year when you could apply everywhere for charters that would not be a good fit for my daughter. Glad I'm not even considering. Conversely, there are schools that seem great but that we are unlikely to get into this year; however, we will rank high and know that it's worth reapplying if we are not happy with whatever school we do attend. (Our IB school will almost certainly take us--everyone IB got in during the initial lottery last year, so we are almost certain to get matched.)[/quote]
