[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lottery question here. I'm sorry but we are new :(

If we have 9 schools on our waiting list and add a #10 and get in, [b]can we enroll there but stay on the waiting list for the other schools?[/b] Let's say we get into #9 after we enroll #10, do we go to #10 and unenroll or can we enroll in #9 and they tell #10 we have enrolled there? What if #10 is a charter and #9 is a dc public school?

if that's the case, does it look bad if you do that?

Like I said, I'm sorry this is a lottery question but we JUST moved here from across the country and I'm overwhelmed. [/quote]

Yes - you stay on the wait lists of schools you rank higher if you enroll in your #10 choice.

If you are offered a slot at a school you rank higher, you go to the new school and enroll t here. The system will inform #10 school, but it's a good courtesy to call and tell them.

As for how it looks, this is the public school lottery, not private schools. They don't care, and are dealing with people enrolling in one place, then enrolling elsewhere every day.
