[quote=Anonymous]15:06 is correct. A child can only receive a spot at one school. In the "first run" of the lottery if you will, if student John Smith receives spots in two schools, John will then receive a spot in his highest ranked school and be put on the waitlist at the other school. So if John's parents ranked their in-boundary school lower than another school, the John may well get into the higher ranked school and then appear on the waitlist at John's in-boundary school. Meanwhile, other students with no preference get a spot and it looks like over John. But in reality, John got a spot in a school his parents ranked higher.[/quote]
