Higher than 10,XXX?

Evidently, there are no rules so anything goes -- including you getting this place even if your log is the last one on the chart :-(

Way, WAY higher than that. It could be the highest one, that's how high it is.

Well, I may very well have been bumped, so if that doesn't give you hope, I don't know what will

I have no CB preference. If you're in the 165% or especially 200% AMI bands in any lottery, you have an unusually high chance of being called. Fewer people with those incomes participate and the apartments themselves are a much less good deal, so they drop and drop through the log. Stuy Town had to run its lottery twice to fill the middle-income apartments (and I'm still not sure they've succeeded!).

My boss was called for Stuy and turned it down for that very reason - the place wasn't really a deal
