[quote=Anonymous]Guys, you're over-thinking this. Lotteries for each school [b]are and have always been run independently[/b] - think drawing lottery tickets out of separate bowls if that helps - (first IB kids, then sibling-pref kids, then the rest). Everybody gets an entirely separate ranking for each of their choice, be it "in" or a position on the waitlist. Simply, those who get in somewhere (say into their 4th choice) will not be kept on any lists (neither "in" nor waitlist) for their 5th and 6th choice. That's all there is to it. Or for those who've done this in the past, maybe easier to understand like this: As in the past, if you happen to draw several "in", you'll get the highest ranked of those "in". However, different from the past is that you won't even be put to the back of the waitlist for the lower ranked choices, as was the case in the past.[/quote]
