If you got into your #1 pick in year 1, why did you lottery for year 2? If you got your #1 pick in year 2, why did you lottery for year 3? They must have been pretty bad #1 choices.


I played the lottery because my school is an commute from my house. The third time was just for fun.

Foolish because I am wondering if we should stay at our current HRCS

My DC was picked first for LAMB lottery years ago; for 6th got into Washington Latin via common lottery.

We're still playing Powerball though.

Matched first choice this year for PreK 4 at Mundo Verde. No sibling preference. I've been on both ends of the spectrum. No match last year for Peabody, my inbound.

Yes--we got our 1st choice for 5th grade (not BASIS or Latin but a HRCS).

What kind of question is this? OP, do you think that every single desirable school is 100% siblings? I don't think that's the case with even one school (even Brent I think was not full of siblings this year - although I might be wrong).

Have you ever gotten your number one choice? I don’t mean due to being inbound or sibling preference, I mean getting matched with your impossible #1 pick? Do you know someone who has managed this? Or even managed it a few times?
