??? Can you elaborate?


Someone at Latin sells spots after the lottery is over. So, if you are WL #12, for instance, you may loose your spot for WL student #345 because he/she paid someone there. Did you get it?


Truly one of the most ridiculous things I have ever seen stated on DCUM.

If you know about this, you should report details to My School DC, they monitor the WL after the lottery is over so can look into this.

The Latin Board has committed to starting one - within next 4 years.

I'm in the low 200s and I would absolutely pay for a spot if that were an allowed option.

You guys. Come on. That isn't true. I know lots of people who had reasonable WL numbers there and they got in on a reasonable schedule.

Based on past movement, no. But if you can stick it out elsewhere until high school, the sibling has a good chance to get in in 9th grade.

It doesn't matter - that means you're behind 9 other siblings. If 10 rising 6th graders leave, then you'll get in. That is highly unlikely.
