[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Aren't most of these posts somewhat irrelevant to the current lottery system?  Pretty much everything is in the common lottery, so other than getting a call off the wait list and saying no, moving or going private, you can't really "turn down" a school anymore right?  But in order for the wait lists to move, someone with phenomenal lottery numbers has to either move or go private, so that there is a trickle down effect for the rest of us.

I suppose someone who's already in a higher grade could lottery for a school on a whim, get in, and then ultimately decide to stick with their current school. But then why did they lottery at all?

Point is, these long stories from years ago about getting into 3 awesome charters and turning them all down was really only relevant when you had to apply to each school separately.  [/quote]

Agreed. I turned down LAMB, 2Rivers, and our IB school back in the day, but I think when you look at how it works now - it's different. I would only count the past year and ask the question.

Turning down CMI because you applied to "hedge your bets" is not the same. That poster is the exact person we developed the common lottery for. [/quote]
