[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have heard several different answers to this question. My inbound school is extremely popular and we really like it. But we liked a charter a little more. Given the competitiveness of our IB school (it will likely fill with IB siblings except for a few slots), do we need to rank it #1 to have a chance to get in? The charter we like is also super popular so we have less of a chance there. Trying to figure out what ranking a school #1 does for your chances. [/quote] [b]Literally rank them in the order you would like to go to them. Don't overthink this.[/b][/quote] This all day long. [/quote] This is absolutely true, with the ONE caveat that if you fill your list with 12 schools with (historically) long wait lists, you may not match anywhere. So rank them according to preference, but unless you're okay with not matching, include one or some that you're highly likely to match at.[/quote]
