[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the lottery is conducted as poster 21:00 described why are we asked to rank the schools? I understand that this year the rank order impacted waitlist eligibility, but what about in previous years? It seems that ranking is meaningless if DCPS is just pulling names from a hat. In that case should we not just be asked to select six schools? I assumed that there was some sort of sophisticated algorithm that was being used, but I guess that would be asking too much.[/quote] No, there IS a reason to rank - because if you get into your 3rd choice, you are removed from consideration for your 4-6th choices. Even as described above, ranking can still really matter.[/quote]
