I started a new character and noticed I did not end up in the same newbie corp as previously, so to make sure I made another character with the exact same choices. It ended up in another corp then the first one. I was under the impression that starting corp depends on bloodline and such, but now it seems random. Does anyone know why or when that was changed?

Has always been that way as far as I know. The starting zone is also random.
To add to your confusion: if you join a player corp and later leave it, you get put into a different NPC corp than you started in, but always the same one everytime you are without a corp.

No, it has not always been that way. Back when the new chars were starting with ~900k SP the newbie corp did infact depend on the bloodline. They changed that when the new system came in.

And to bring actual facts, back in the day when you chose your career (which influenced your starting skills, first giving next to no skills, then very unbalanced skillsets where anyone not picking Spaceship Command -> (I forget) -> Captain would end up with less SP to start, and then the 800k-something SP), the different schools had different careers. So State War Academy, for example, had only pilots who had chosen the "combat" careers. Royal Institute had players who had picked "industrial". University of Caille had "business" careers. Now, picking a career before you've played the game isn't that nice (unless you've played the game before and min-max), so that was changed in Apocrypha.
That said, I wouldn't mind to have a chance to pick (for example, under "Advanced" options, with random being default) which corp to enter. The two reasons of this would be entering the same corp with a friend (no real use, except for starting close), and the RP reason of fixing "why the hell my Caldari patriot soldier character started in a business school backed by the liberal block".

Originally by: Tau Cabalander Has always been that way as far as I know.
My experience extends only back to 2 weeks before Apocrypha.

Before apocrypha, which btw is almost 1 year old (wow time flies!!) it depended on career. For example, Caldari entrepreneurs were born in Amsen (science and trade institute) while combat pilots were born in Kisogo (state of war academy) and industrialists in Todaki (school of applied knowledge)
it used to make sense...
