[quote=Anonymous]For anyone who has a better understanding...  I know that if you rank your home school #1 you get it.  And if you rank your home school #2, but don't get your #1, you get your home school.  But if you rank your home school #3, #4, or #5, how does it work?  It is really just a straight-up lottery where they try to give as many kids their #1, and then they take the kids who don't get their #1 through that lottery, and place them in a lottery for their #2, and so on and so forth?  Or is there any connection/weight to what your home school is?  To make this more concrete, if our home school is Wheaton, and we rank Einstein/Northwood/Wheaton/Kennedy/Blair, are we more likely to get Wheaton than another kid with the same rankings, but whose home school is Kennedy?  Or does that kid have the same exact chance in a lottery for third choice? In essence, after the second choice, is there any weight for home school in the process?  If you list your home school as #4 or #5, will they stick you there even though you don't want to go there, just because it's your home school?[/quote]
