[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I attended the lottery results day, and they said that they got to somewhere around 30 on the waitlist last year. I think they had more siblings this year, but good luck! (We are #356 so no chance. haha)[/quote]

I think they actually had fewer sibling spots taking up lottery slots this year than last year.  My daughter started this year in PK3 as a sibling and it was a large sibling class.  [/quote]

Ah, I was just guessing about the siblings part...We were told LAMB had 60 spots available for PK3 and PK4. After siblings, only 30 spots and 3 of those went to PK4; then with sibling pairs (if one got in, the other did too), they only got to around #24 on the long list of names. I just assumed it wasn't possible that they could get to 30 on the wait list based on those numbers (so fewer non-sibling spots available this year) but definitely could be mistaken![/quote]

Were you told they only got to #24 by someone at the school?  I was told by the school they got to 30 on the pK-3 list but now I'm worried I got the wrong information![/quote]

Whoops--just seeing this. At the lottery, they read the names quickly. One of the women said that based on the names with siblings that they probably only got to #24 to fill 30 spots (sibling names were listed as one entry as far as I could see). So this was said as soon as the lottery list was generated so off the cuff and not official. But yes, by an administrator.[/quote]

Sorry, that should be 27 spots (30 was total number--27 for PK3, 3 for PK4)[/quote]
