[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Schools don't rank you in DC. The link from the Post described New Orleans.[/quote] Yes they do. They're called preferences and they along with a random number assignment determine your position in the algorithm.[/quote] Preferences are something completely different from school rankings.[/quote] No they aren't. The school puts each kid into a pool of applicants pool 1 (Sibling) pool 2 (Proximity) pool 3 (No Pref) within each of those pools they create tiebreakers (some kind of random number assignments). Those tiebreaks are used to rank the children within the pools. This is the same in NYC, New Orleans, Denver and in DC.[/quote]
