Random would never work, on a practical basis. Everyone would overapply, then the universities would have to have follow-up lotteries in a series until they settled on a group that both won and had them as their first choice.

I like the '10%' as an added factor. Possibly it would be a bigger factor for students who attended schools with lower scores, since there would seem to be a relationship between overall lower test scores and educational opportunity. Of course, as I remember, the counter argument was that students would flock to the lower test score schools, but even if that happened, the result would seem to be an 'evening out' of the schools.

Tough problem.
