Very true. [b]And if you're fucked for one school, you are fucked for all schools[/b], automatically shunted down the entire line of popular ones to a "safety."

What would be the effect of having the school's lotteries all be individual? Is the problem a lack of ability to centrally administer it? Can't the charter board just run a lottery for each school? That seems more fair to me than the luck of the draw one number for all... and I say that as someone who has been lucky with low number draws (relatively lucky).

Doesn't the current system just sort of enforce the crazy popularity contest with the HRCS's?

I was fucked at them all under teh old system.  Didn't get into a single school.   It did happen. A lot.  And the chances of it happening are the same as the chances of it happening now.  Same number of desirably spots and same number of people wanting them.
