[quote=Anonymous]Here's another way of asking the question: you and I apply to the exact same 12 schools, rank them in exact same order, have same preferences (or lack thereof). Common lottery: you get #2 and get into your top choice. I get #652 and get into none of mine. That's it, it's over for me for all 12 schools. Other scenario: you and I apply to same 12 schools who all hold different lotteries. School 1 you get #2 and I get #652 (let's say it's 2 Rivers). You're in, I'm out. But that's just for school 1; there are still 11 more schools for me to have a chance at abetted number than you. I understand we both might strike out at school 2, or I could still strike out at all 12 in the end. But I could also get into one of them. How are my odds exactly the same as yours re: getting into one of these schools when the first chance isn't my only chance in scenario 2? I believe you that it's true, but no one's explained how/why it's true.[/quote]
