[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, I think the real takeaway of doing the lottery any other way is that people would try to strategize about how to order their picks. [/quote] This is the silliest thing ever. Figuring out which school you want most and how to rank your schools to maximize your chances of getting in is the whole point. Making the rankings matter more just emphasizes that. The more your ranking influences your chances, the more careful and thoughtful people will be about how they rank. There's no way to "game" that, why are some people so extra super duper worried that parents will try to figure out how to get their kids into the school they think is best? Isn't that the entire point of ranking your choices?[/quote]
