NP: My USPS informed delivery email shows an MCPS perforated envelope coming today. Holding my breath.

They do have to qualify for the lottery.
Even if they had administered COGAT I bet they would have used a lottery.

NP and could you possibly be more patronizing? You actually know nothing about OP or their kid or their home middle school.

Oh, so sorry. You're right. OP, you child is doomed to a life of failure if they aren't selected by a lottery process for a middle school magnet program. In fact just today I threw away the resumes of candidates who obviously had not attended magnet middle schools.

OP here — oh no, thanks for warning me. I’ll double down on my efforts to check the mail.

Good luck to all of you! We went through the process last year for HS magnet and it’s so stressful.

No, haven't received anything yet. I'm wondering if we will receive something on ParentVUE before USPS.

Has anybody received the results of the lottery or do you even know if your fifth grader is in the pool? I am asking about the Eastern/Takoma Park lotteries. In the FAQ they said the results would be mailed in early January but I guess it all got pushed back because of Omicron.
