[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]there are only so many spots. whether under the current lottery system or the previous one, not everyone is going to get their top choice. there will be lucky and unlucky people in both systems. the difference here is that the system knows what your top choice is, and if you're lucky with your overall draw, you will get it. in the old system, it was possible for you to get into your #7 choice, and someone else get into their #7 choice, but if you'd been able to trade, you each would have had a spot at your #1 choice. That doesn't happen anymore. Under the old system, lucky people got into multiple schools and THEN decided which one they preferred. Under the new system, you prioritize in advance, which is much more efficient and means fewer slots open up over the summer.[/quote] This.[/quote]
