[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The wait lists are weird in that they are in numerical order. That doesn't make sense to me if it was a random lottery.[/quote] are they allowed to do the waitlists by date/time of application? That is how YY and Stokes used to do it. Basically, the first person in line became #1, the next became #2, etc. They would draw the number of kids for whom they had open slots, then put everyone else in number order on the waitlist. So if 10 people wanted to attend, they had 5 slots, and numbers 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8 got the slots, the waitlist would look like: 1. #3 2. #5 3. #7 4. #9 5. #10 It really encouraged people to sign up as fast as possible, in some cases camping outside the night before or hiring line-sitters. If Bethune is using this model, it would make sense for the waitlist to be numerical. The people who were missing could be errors, or could be people who withdrew from the lottery. [/quote]
