[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]they just do not fill the unmatched seats. Sometimes they decide there are more seats than qualified applicants. They can't fill MORE than the allocated seats but they can fill fewer.[/quote]

So the incoming classes just vary a lot in size?  That seems like a waste of perfectly good seats.  [/quote]

They’re not real seats, though. I’m sure it’s been decades since there have been 300 freshmen at McKinley. They don’t have teachers to teach those kids, or computers or resources for them. Nothing real is going to waste. 300 is just a number the school  gives the lottery, because it makes the lottery process work better for the school. [/quote]

Okay, but what do they do when they can't fill the number of seats they want to fill?

I just feel like this process, at all the schools, is so arbitrary and non-transparent, and I have so little faith in the integrity and honesty of the people in charge, that this kind of vagueness opens the door to insider placement a la Antwan Wilson. I don't even have a rising 9th grader and it aggravates me.[/quote]
