[quote=Anonymous][quote]my understanding (from a conversation with myschools) but I may have misunderstood, is that if you get into school #5 you will be waitlisted at schools #1-#4 and you will NOT be waitlisted at schools #6-#12 [/quote] NP here. This is my understanding as well. I don't know if your ranking for a school gives you greater consideration or preference, however. It's a straight lottery for each school, with the same preferences (sibling, proximity), but this system aims to lower overall waitlist numbers by dropping you from every school that's lower in your ranking. Adding a preference for your ranking would complicate things a bit too much, I believe.[/quote]
