TITLE OF STUDY: Crowdsourcing the odds of admissions to NYC Schools

You are being asked to take part in research conducted by Amélie Marian who is an Associate Professor in the Dept. of Computer Science at Rutgers. The purpose of this study is to identify the odds of admissions through the lottery process for NYC schools.

The survey will take about 5 minutes to complete. If you decide to quit at any time before you have finished the survey your answers will NOT be recorded. You will not be paid to take part in this study. There are no direct benefits to you for taking part in this research. You will be contributing to knowledge about the NYC school admission process.

The data will be collected anonymously. Your name or any other identifier will not be collected in this survey, and your personal data will not be identified in the results. We will use Google Forms to collect and forward your anonymous responses to us. We will download your responses to a secure file that requires a password to access. Only study staff will have access to the password. All responses will be kept completely confidential. Responses may be used or distributed to investigators for other research without obtaining additional informed consent from you.

If you do not click on the ‘submit’ button after completing the form, your responses will NOT be recorded. However, once you click the ‘submit’ button at the end of the form, your responses cannot be withdrawn as we will not know which ones yours are.

What is your lottery number? *

Your lottery number is a string of 32 numbers and characters that looks like: '6faef231-ae43-4b60-b99d-ba4f95811c53'. It is used to assign students to schools.
You can find your lottery number in your student's MySchools profile: click "Edit Profile" and scroll down to the "Application Random Number". Please enter the number or the first 2-3 characters (e.g., "6fa") here.

What is your student's group for screened admissions?

This year the DOE grouped students into 5 groups for screened schools. Within a group ties are broken by lottery numbers. You can see a detailed explanation of how groups are determined here: https://www.schools.nyc.gov/enrollment/enroll-grade-by-grade/high-school/screened-admissions. You can find your group information on your student's MySchools profile or on your offer letter.

What school did your student receive an offer to? (in the main High School Application Process, not a Specialized HS or La Guardia offer): *

Select a school from the drop-down menu. Schools are sorted by their "District Borough Number" code: the first two digits of the code is the district where the school is located.
Some schools have more than one program, make sure to select the correct one.

(Tip: You can find a school faster, without scrolling, by searching (ctrl-F or Cmd-F) for its DBN code)

What is your student's "Score" at the school where you student matched (only applies to some screened and audition schools - leave blank if not applicable)

You can find the score at the bottom of your High School Admission letter (available in the the "Your Documents" section of MySchools). At the end of the letter, there is a section called "SCREENED AND AUDITION PROGRAM RESULTS". For each school on your list, if applicable, the score or Group is listed. Please enter the score information here. (You can ignore the Group information as it is already recorded above). If you do not have this information, leave blank.
