[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just to be clear, if there are 137 seats, they are only adding 25 (about one extra class).  Eastern had 112 seats before.  Also, I have heard a lot of people are getting both offers. It is starting to look intentional on MCPS’s part. Maybe to make to make the waitpool more predictable.  You have to decline the other offer so there’s less likelihood of last minute changes, eg if your child really wanted STEM but got into Humanities first.[/quote]

Oh wow. That makes a lot of sense.

So maybe there are 3 pulls - kids who are in both lotteries, and kids who are in one lottery only. [/quote]

NP.  My DC also got invites to both EMS (on Wed.) and TPMS (yesterday).  DC feels torn having to choose one over the other, or neither. [/quote]

Oops, I meant Tue. for EMS invite.[/quote]

DP - I know these things can happen, but I think it’s utter BS that kids can “win” both lotteries, when so many don’t even get one.  That just sucks.  Many kids, including my DD, were entered in both lotteries and selected from neither.  That multiple people can be selected from both really needs to stop.[/quote]
