I think as far as ADMITTED students go, it doesn't matter that they reordered the lists numerically.  But they also did it for the waitlists, which seems unfair.  We have sibling preference, and are way lower on a waitlist than I expected, because they ordered the waitlists numerically and we had a higher number.[/quote]

We are waitlisted for PK3, and I think this comment gets to the crux of the problem. It is possible that the identification number each family received was random, in which case even if the waitlist numbers are in numerical order the drawing is still technically random. But if it was assigned in order of application, as I suspect it was, then our place on the waitlist is a factor of when we applied. I didn't think was supposed to be a determining factor. I'd like a more full accounting of the process, and join others who indicate this reflects on our view of the administration at the school. We had questions about how well the school was run before the lottery occurred, and this is another question that will now need to be answered.[/quote]
