And it had to be by lottery since my "low" 99 ds got his first choice. [ Reply | More ]

no frankly I just want to think the gender balanced and she is telling the truth since I have a boy 98 waiting for placement [ Reply | More ]

I believe her too. The gender balancing theory is plausible, and I hope that's the explanation, since I do think they should be balancing. Just tossing another possibility out there in response to the post that there was no way to explain the 97 ds unless it was fake or due to gender balancing. [ Reply | More ]

^ Another possibility that I saw mentioned earlier is maybe the DOE decided to use the lottery for all 97+ instead of doing just the 99s first, then 98s, then 97s. [ Reply | More ]

possible although not probable given the 99s are still reporting the better placements [ Reply | More ]
