I won a lottery space. What do I do now?

Starting August 3rd, the school will call lottery winners to let them know they won a space in their class. Starting August 10th, we will help lottery winners complete their registration.

Lottery winners must provide an official government ID and proof of living in DC in order to complete their registration. If you are under 26 years old, you will also need to submit a copy of your immunization records.

Here is how you can submit your documents:

  • Upload – upload your documents to this Google form
  • Email/phone – Having trouble using the form? Let us know if you need help! Email registration@carlosrosario.org or call 202-797-4700
  • In-person appointments – If you are not able to send your documents virtually, we will hold a small number of in-person events at our Harvard Street Campus parking lot. These events will be by appointment only. Call 202-797-4700 for details.

 

I am on the lottery waiting list. What do I do now?

If you did not win a lottery space, your name is automatically added to our waiting list. The school will contact you as soon as space becomes available in your class.

General Application Information

Fall Semester – Lottery

The Fall semester beings August 31st. The lottery only happens for fall semester classes. For classes where there are more applicants than spaces available, the school conducts a lottery so all new applicants have the same chance to enter into their class.

Spring Semester – First-Come First-Served

The Spring semester begins in January. During Spring application dates, we serve a limited number of students. Applicants receive an entry ticket when they arrive. Each day the doors close at the scheduled closing time, or when the building reaches capacity. Applicants with entry tickets are served on a first come first served basis.
