[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some people get their top 3 choice. That’s the lottery. [b]You mainly hear from those that didn’t in this forum.[/b] But statistically speaking, some people are bound to get a terrific master number. Pray you’re one of them. And if it doesn’t happen one year, try the next. Have a back up plan you feel comfortable with and don’t worry about the rest. [/quote]

This argument insinuates that the impression that it is unlikely to get into a top choice is created by the self-selection of DCUM posters and wrong. That is absolutely misleading. Whether posters self-select in this way or not, it is a statistical fact that it is very unlikely for someone entering the lottery without preferences to get into one of the most popular charters. If the number of people who are getting one of their top choices seems high, it is because they chose their IB or because they have sibling preference.[/quote]

This. I would love to see the statistic for people trying to get into schools without any preference. I’m sure it’s quite low. [/quote]
