[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]these threads pop up every single year after the lottery when panicked and distraught families who didn't get squat are looking around desperately for some sort of kink in the system to save them. "Maybe if I can show that it's rigged, maybe if I can shed light on an irregularity that will give me a leg up." I've been there. My first lottery when I got nothing but waitlist numbers I tried to come up with any way I could salvage my child's education prospects. It worked out...it wasn't until late-Sept, but it worked out.

and in the past they did identify places where people cheated.  Was it last year or 2 years ago where people lied about having an IB sibling.  There was an applicant who said that they had a sibling at each school they applied to in the lottery.  [/quote]

I take it they got caught, since we're talking about it here?  Or is it believed many tried the same thing and they didn't all get caught?  That's exactly the type of thing I'd never do because I believe it would come back to bite me - maybe not in an obvious way, but in a big way.[/quote]

I don't think they would let you register if you used a different address during then lottery. I assume that's dcps policy. Same probably goes for lying about siblings. The principals are supposed to check these things. That seems like one way to get some waitlist movement. [/quote]
