Oh, come on. She was just brainstorming an idea.

An idea that shows zero understanding of how the lottery works. Okay.[/quote]
 :roll: [/quote]

Well, now she's clarified that she only wants two choices, number 1 and your IB school, so she's proposing an entirely different lottery altogether, where you just throw your name in for a single school.[/quote]

OP - I wasn't suggesting that.  I was saying, the idea is that the lottery would be exactly the same but with a new preference given to everybody's #1 ranked school - if this new preference was added, then the most realistic scenarios are that you either match with your #1 or match your IB, then essentially your #1 ranking is the one that matters most.  But, I wasn't saying you not allow somebody to rank schools between your #1 and in-bound, I'm just saying that these rankings may not end up mattering.  But, if you ranked a very popular school #1, and a a couple less popular charters afterwards but before your IB, then those rankings could still come into play if you drew a pretty good lotto # but not good enough to get matched with your #1.
