[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know a kid who got in through some "special process." She was a friend of my daughter's. My daughter's group of friends all applied in 8th grade and discussed their lottery number. This particular girl got a lottery number in the 50s or so, making it extremely unlikely she'd get in for HS. Her parents were very upset because their older child went there and the younger sister had some issues at her middle school (family didn't feel supported when they were going through a tragedy). Next thing I know, it's Sept. and I find out the girl is going to HB!

I asked a neighbor about it whose child was also at HB and is friends with this family. She said something to the effect of they got in through a special process. I tried to ask more about this, but she was vague and clearly didn't want to discuss it. [/quote]

Ok, if a couple of kids get in because of bullying or mental health or some other personally difficult circumstance, I'm ok with that. That's not a conspiracy or insider connections. [/quote]

Is that because your kid got in already and you're not on the waitlist???? It's obviously not fair. And it's more than a couple. The whole lottery process is deliberately opaque. The results should be published without identifiable names and the waitlist # movement should be publicly updated on a spreadsheet as kids come and go.[/quote]
