[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you live in DC and your kid is applying to DCPS selective schools, you won't know if they get into those until March 31 (the misalignment in these admissions timelines is maddening!).  And, some folks might be seeing if financial aid offers change after the enrollment deadline, or seeing how the different schools assess and place their kids for the upcoming year as an indicator of how good a fit it really is in terms of process, learning content, or more. It's not something we would do but I can see that there are still some factors up in the air at this point. [/quote]

Even if you're waiting on the DC lottery there's no reason to put down multiple deposits.  Put down a deposit at your first choice private and then if you get in somewhere in the lottery you can pull out.  [/quote]

Do you mean waitlisters pay deposits to stay on the waitlists??[/quote]
No of course not. Folks who were waiting on news that wouldn’t come before the 17th (including DCPS and MCPS lotteries, TJ decision, or boarding school decisions) would have to put down a deposit for the top choice school that accepted their child while waiting to hear from other schools on different timelines. OR while staying on a WL for a preferred school. Unless the preferred alternative is the in-bound public school, of course. [/quote]
