[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have a 2.5% chance of admission.  Your child is more likely to get into Harvard than LAMB.  So try to put it out of your mind. Did you get all hyped up for the Powerball drawing, too?[/quote]
News to me that 2.5% of our country goes to harvard.  :roll: [/quote]

Harvard last year admitted 2,000 kids out of 37,000 applicants.
LAMB last year admitted around 40+ kids out of 850 applicants.

Both com to approximately a 5% chance. 
More people go to Harvard and LAMB than win Powerball. [/quote]

Lamb only accepted 27/850 or so for pk3 and 3 or so for pk4. Just so everyone is on the same page, even though DD was accepted, it had nothing to do with my amazing parenting skills (don't tell my inlaws).

And it also bothers me when people act like they did something to get their kid in. My neighbor sends his son to Latin PCS. As a JOKE, I congratulated him on "being such a wonderful parent you got your kids into such great schools". Without missing a beat he said "well it did take research and I do think I'm an excellent parent and Latin is a part of that."  I just rolled my eyes and walked off.

LAMB actually ended up going to 53 or 54 on the PK3 waiting list. It was 27 the day of the lottery, but by the time school started they had worked through quite a bit of their list. [/quote]

That still doesn't increase the number of spots. [/quote]
