[quote=Anonymous][quote=dcmom]An example of the specifics of how the lottery in Denver works--which is what I believe DC will be doing-is on page 25 in Example 2 in the appendix of this paper: https://www2.bc.edu/~sonmezt/sc_aerfinal.pdf. This paper is linked to from the website of the company that is setting up the lottery. It's very complicated. But essentially, it optimizes the number of people who are matched to a high-choice school, and the ranking of the schools by the applicants does matter. (It definitely matters less than sibling/founder/boundary preferences, though.) And the schools do "rank" the students, via a random lottery number, within the preference brackets.[/quote] Same way it works in Denver, New Orleans, NYC and in previous years, DC.[/quote]
