Wrong.  I dealt with the old system, got 2 kids into 2 different HRCS's over 2 years because of individual lotteries.  We didn't play in the new system but I've followed it closely, and while I do actually support the new system and understand why in the end it is probably more fair and more accurate (in terms of matching), for those who got a crappy random lottery number for the common lottery, you can't really expect them not to wish they had several more shots at getting a better number in at least a few other lotteries.

Basically just pointing out that some of us who did the old system did very well, so you cannot say anyone who questions this system never dealt with the old one.  My wish for the current one is that they could do a version of individual school lotteries within the overall common lottery, so for each person applying to 12 schools, you got 12 chances at a great lottery number instead of one chance that affected your matching/waitlist for all 12 schools.[/quote]
