[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Read up folks: http://kuznets.fas.harvard.edu/~aroth/papers/aer.NYCSchools.Dec2009.pdf The model for which this lottery is based can be found on page 4 and will most likely only be tweaked in the manner of tiebreakers. All that myschooldc doesn't define is what the tiebreaker in each applicant pool is. you can't have all the kids who have siblings at the same school based rank (THIS IS NOT THE SAME AS THE STUDENT RANKING THE SCHOOL DAMMIT). They have to do some sort of random number assignment at this point. Let's say 100 kids selected the school, then the school has to rank each of those kids 1 through 100. That's how the algorithm gets started. The rest is the student application proposing acceptance to the school or moving on.[/quote] So we've got one poster describing the New Orleans system, and now another describing the NYC system. But we live in DC.[/quote]
