[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Echoing what was said above that 95% of schools (especially charters) will stop taking new students after "Count Day." But, as some whose kids have literally started new schools on count day before, waitlists can move like CRAZY late September into early October. Like going from 50 something to getting an offer in some cases (depending on the school).[/quote] As a real data nerd, my biggest piece of lottery advice is to be prepared to move for your preferred school in Sept/early October. There are SO MANY schools that take like 2 or 3 kids a grade in the lottery, maybe another 2 off waitlists by August... and then make like 25 offers in Sept/Oct. For a school like that (ie, all Deal feeders, lots of other in demand schools especially DCPS schools) you literally quintuple your chances by being willing to move after school starts. SO MANY people say no after school starts! They fly through lists![/quote]
