[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These numbers seem incorrect …[/quote] My guess is you think the Latin number should be lower. Maybe this helps. Of all Latin I applicants on match day: 20% matched at a school they ranked higher 7% matched at Latin with no preference 5% matched at Latin with preference 68% were still on the waitlist In the past we didn't have data on applicants who matched at a school they ranked higher. So people traditionally calculate the likelihood of getting in as matches/(matches + waitlist). If you do that you get: 9% matched with no preference 6% matched with preference 85% were on the waitlist It's just another way of thinking about the data. I wouldn't advocate for it to replace the traditional way, but it can potentially provide a bit more insight on school preference.[/quote]
