[quote=Anonymous]My apologies if this is a duplicate question, but I can't seem to find the answer and have been getting conflicting reports from other parents.

I am interested in applying for PS3 in 2013-2104.

Hypothetically, I would like to be rank in this order:

1- My inbounds with proximity school (Tyler Spanish Immersion)
2- My inbounds school (Brent)
3- Additional schools, yet to be determined

By ranking my inbounds school second, am I then theoretically putting myself at the back of the waistlist behind other parents who ranked our inbounds school as #1?

My understanding of the lottery system is that the following steps occur:

1- All applicants assigned a randomly assigned lottery number
2- Slots are filled in order of random number first with inbounds students with siblings, then inbounds, then, out of bounds with siblings.

At what point does the ranking of the six schools begin to apply? If I am not accepted at my #1 ranked school, am I still grouped with the other inbounds family in order of preference? Or pushed behind all the families that chose our inbound school as #1, but higher than #3,4,5 or 6?

Thank you,[/quote]
