I wonder if people without a backup plan will be treated better by the lottery. What if there is a secret element to the lottery that tries to get every kid matched somewhere? We were applying for 5th and only applied to one school - our backup plan is to stay at our EOP DCPS for 5th and then apply to 12 schools for 6th.

It would be so nice to get in and never worry about doing the lottery again!

Well OP - we only have 4 more days! That's not too bad considering we've been waiting this long.

I'm assuming those people have a backup plan...


Some do, but I'm sure many have the backup plan of just bitching about how the system isn't working.

OP again. I prefer my pain in a single dose. I'm naturally optimistic, so I am doubly disappointed with each piece of disappointing news. Just hit me with it once, please!

OP here...I wonder how many families will actually *not* get matched at all.

I agree, OP! Even if the results suck, I still want them.

Well I have a relatively decent EOTP IB school that all IB kids got in for last year, so I'm happy with that outcome. If I get nothing? Yeah, that would suck.
