[quote=Anonymous]The Boston model is interesting. 1) Rank all students based on admission criteria. Since there are multiple exam schools, students also rank their first choice school. 2) For the first 20% of the seats, offer admission to the top ranking students. (Caveat: If a student in the top 20% overall chose school A, but wasn't in the top 20% of students who chose school A, they would not be offered admission in this round, but would go back in the pool for the next round.) 3) Group the remaining 80% of students by zip code. Allocate seats for each zip code proportional to the number of enrolled students in that zip code. Offer admission based on top ranking students in the zip code.[/quote]
