[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had no problem entering the lottery with an out of state address. I did the applications then called each school to explain we were moving in to DC. In fact we got a spot at a coveted charter in the lottery but didn't actually move to DC until August. When we were notified I simply called the school and told them our situation- they were fine with it. When we came house hunting in June we went by the school and introduced myself. They were completely pleasant and said we will see you when school starts. When we had the address (about a week before school started) I completely forgot to tell the school. First day of school my child had name tag, on class roll, etc. I went and filled out my paperwork with our new address and we were done. Easy. [/quote]

I think there is a perceived difference between someone coming from so far away that they are clearly moving to DC for the school year because commuting would be impossible, vs. someone who could say they're moving and then stay in MD and commute.

But more importantly, what year did you apply with your out of state addy PP?  Things have changed in just the last year and will change again this coming year, so honestly, OP and others would be taking big chances relying on what happened in the past with this.  What year did you move to DC and apply with an out of state addy?[/quote]
