[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The lottery works on a "stable matching" system.  You have your ranking of the schools (1 through 6) and the schools ranking of you and everyone else that has applied to them (in-bounds, sibling, proximity, etc).  The lottery will then add a random number to their rankings of students as a form of a tie breaker.  They then add students to the schools based on the schools rankings and correct it based on your rankings.  Once those temporary assignments are fixed they finalize the lists and publish it.  You will be only given 1 seat in the lottery, and any ranking ABOVE your accepted seat will be added to a waitlist.

It's all based on a system designed by Nobel Prize winning economist Alvin Roth - http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/economics/laureates/2012/popular-economicsciences2012.pdf[/quote]

If I wasn't married I'd propose on the spot. I don't even care about gender. Love that there are other geeks on this board. I can't wait to read that paper. Coffee in hand, its spooling from my printer as we speak. [/quote]
