How the Lottery Works

When a school receives more applications than there are seats in a grade, admission is decided by a name-blind lottery.

How applicants are selected

• All applications received between mid-October and the February 1 deadline are entered into the lottery, which randomly selects applicants for open spots at each school and grade.
• Applications received before the deadline but not drawn are placed on the waitlist based on a randomly assigned lottery number.
• Applications received after the deadline are added to the waitlist in the order received.

When the lottery happens

The lottery is drawn in the first week of February. Selected applicants are notified by email (and text) shortly after the draw.
