[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is 11 a realistic pk4 waitlist? [/quote]

To answer my own question, yes. We just got in from the 11 spot. And we had it as our 12th choice.[/quote]

Good for you if you're happy about it and will take it, but this is exactly why the lottery is still flawed.  As many families who are dying to get into Mundo Verde, to me no one who lists it 12 should get in if there are hundreds who listed in in the top 3.[/quote]

Jealous much? PP got a good general number. She is likely to get in another school that she ranked higher. Even if she doesn't and accepts MV, it is still in her top 12, what should she do not enroll in any school?[/quote]

Unless she created the current lottery, my issue is not with her and if you actually read my post, you'd be clear on that.  Of course she should register if she wants to.  My issue is that if/when this lottery really gets it right, more people will be matched according to their top 3 and they'll find a way for people to not get into a school that hundreds have ranked in the top 3 and they've ranked 12.  If the idea is better matching, then it's the same number of spots, but honestly someone who ranked MV in their top 3 would get a call before this person did.  That's just my opinion, but feel free to get all hot and bothered about it if you really want to.  No one is telling this poster who got in not to enroll.[/quote]

I'm the poster who just got the call for MV and I agree that the lottery is aggravating. Here I am getting a spot that would be much coveted by another family and at the same time I am in the same boat in that there are 10 other choices that I wanted more and am not geting. I've already declined an offer from my 11th choice.
