Question about lottery application
I looked through the subreddit and didn’t see a related post but if there is one, please let me know and I’ll delete this one!
Is there any advantage to applying to the NCAP Main Round as soon as it opens November 2? My child will be going to kindergarten next year and we have a two schools in particular in mind, but one of them doesn’t even offer any tours until after the app is open. Doing more research tonight and I’m seeing quite a few schools don’t have tours until after November 2, so I feel like then it doesn’t affect your placement, but then I didn’t know if maybe you could modify your application to change your ranking before it closes in January.
Anyway, experienced parents / public school educators on this subreddit, does applying earlier in the process increase/affect your chances of getting a school, or do you just need to apply by January 22?
