All 99s were on equal footing. They put them into a hat and drew 50 kids from that. The scores have absolutely no meaning anymore. [ Reply | More

Clearly raw scores were not the determining factor. Either it was a blind lottery, or they took other factors into account (e.g., district diversity). I doubt we will ever know. [ Reply | More

and it doesn't matter, does it? All kids 97 and above are equally eligible for Anderson. As long as no kid below that score got in the process was fair and square. [ Reply | More

No - this isn't about that, it's about seeing how they actually placed people - true lottery or by scores! [ Reply | More

You're reading too much into it. We are merely speculating on how the decisions were made. Yes, it's pretty much a fool's errand, but it's mildly entertaining. You sound bitter. [ Reply | More
