Cynic here: what makes you think you’ll get your first choice?

85% got their first choice in last lottery. 94% got one of their top 3. https://www.cpsd.us/cms/one.aspx?portalId=3042869&pageId=3478220

From this data, you would be pretty much assured of getting into Peabody if you make that your first choice (since they are expecting at least four spots for people without any bonus points). You are not assured of getting into G&P.
They project 19 spots for people with proximity bonus at G&P, and in the previous year there were 32 folks with proximity bonus that applied.

Yep, I saw those projections… i took them with a grain of salt since i didn’t see them say how their projections compared to reality last year. Thank you for digging them out!!

Proximity helps a lot in the lottery.

Real talk: it’s not guaranteed, because Cambridge also weights income. Do you need aftercare? Which school has better aftercare placement rates?
