Is it just me or does it seem like the schools know who already got accepted? Just a vibe I got last week.

PP, good point about the wait list moving some throughout the next few months.


I saw this too. Does this mean an acceptance? Or does every child get a letter?



Everyone gets a letter letting you know if you were placed in the pool or not and if you were accepted.

Does anyone know the chances of our kids actually getting in? How many students are in the lottery vs how many actually get seats (approx)?

We are in 5th grade and know someone from the waitlist who got in at the start of the year. So don’t give up hope.

Thanks for the heads up. I guess it’d be good to read those usps alerts before deleting

Lol this week means Friday afternoon so that they don’t have to deal with parents over the spring break asking why their child wasn’t accepted.

The web site says this week, but maybe that is the review this week?

When DC got their invitation it was in late March, but that was a couple of years ago before the lottery.
