Unlikely. Why wouldn’t they go straight to the waitlist?


Because the waitlist is not numbered -- it's another lottery that is run. It doesn't happen right away.

OP I'll bet you are fine. But call on Monday to confirm.

OMG, I responded literally 1 second after getting the email. I was looking for and waiting for that email. I think most parents in this area are similar.

Why would they bother? It’s a lottery so they are just as likely to get a great kid off the waitlist? And if they change the rules for one family, they’ll need to change it for all.

If the lack of response was due to a big family emergency, I would call. If it was just an oops. I would not call.

Went to spam or just did not check email for a while? Say it went to spam either way I think.

Have they done the second round of lottery or is it from 1st one since they send the letters in the mail not email.

Couldn't hurt to call. No one here is likely to have an answer, since it's uncommon to miss the email.
