[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nothing. We're waiting to hear from a specialized high school whose applicant ranking was prepared weeks ago, and DC made no other applications. Not enjoying this lottery business when we don't need a complicated "match".[/quote] I would actually say the specialized "match" is even harder since it's based on academics instead of where you live and if you have multiple kids. You basically have to plan for a specialized match years and years in advance by having a good student.[/quote] Yes-- for Ellington it's years of preparation in advance, whatever the art is. But at least there's some notion of control by the student him or herself... if they apply themselves, prepare, etc., they can win a spot at an extraordinary high school and it's not just left up to the lottery gods.
