We received an offer from AT late last week, our waitlist number was previously in the teens. We saw no movement prior to the offer.

Our Appletree number has not moved at all, which I suspect is because they haven't gotten the paperwork together. Last year they went into the hundreds on their waitlist.

this whole process has made me crazy. i'm a first timer trying to get into prek-3. i could write a book over my obsession w/this crazy lottery.


this is tame and calm and easy compared to two years ago, before they put in the requirement making everyone rank.


Oh god, yes. I had to go to my doctor because I was having chest pain, seriously. It was awful. I still count that PK3 year as one of the most stressful of my life, so I have the utmost sympathy for everyone going through the lottery.

PS - We had to lottery for a couple of years, but wound up at a wonderful school, and I was not having a heart attack, so it worked out for us in the end.

I agree. I do wish they could minimze the feeling of "winning" and "losing".

Was this for PK3?
Good luck!

Seaton parent here. My advice is to call and keep checking. Let Ms. Daisy (registrar) know that you are very interested. Goodluck!
