[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No way this was a true lottery...what are the odds of lottery number 1, 2, 3, and 4 being chosen? And each child's lottery number is very close to their waitlist number (i.e. Waitlist #90, Lottery #95)...[/quote]

Do agree it looks really odd...I don't think one person's lottery number is more than 20 numbers away from their WL position.[/quote]

ding ding ding.  with regard to PK3, this is because all applicants went into the lottery, sibs and nonsibs.  everyone got a lottery number 1-570ish.  then all sibs were admitted, regardless of number.  then the remaining applicants were sorted according to lottery number on the waitlist.  since 21 sibs were admitted, waitlist numbers could vary by 21.  for instance, i am super unlucky, am lottery #570.  21 admitted students means my WL # is 549. see how my WL and lottery vary by 21? on the other hand, i'm really lucky (sort of) my name was pulled out first.  but i'm not a sib.  so my lottery number is #1, but i didn't get admitted as i said b/c i'm not a sib and there weren't initially any non-sib spots.  but i'm first on the WL.  so in that case, my WL and lottery number will be the same-- #1.  it's not a sinister system, people.  and besides, what interest would tehre be in playing around with the lottery when no one is really realistically coming off the waitlist and it's only sibs on there?  [/quote]

So if someone has a WL of 70 and a lottery # of 70 as well, what does that mean?[/quote]

It's very complicated.

It means that child has a WL of 70 and a lottery # of 70 as well.[/quote]
