[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are in bound for barnard and I was quite worried we would get shut out of the better ranked schools and also shut out of Barnard.  We ranked it 8 because of that, hoping it would get us in but still allowed us to rank some others higher.  We got in.  Not sure if there is a wait list or not;  our wait list numbers are all well below 60, so I guess we had a decent draw compared to my friends all in the 200's.  I would also support at-risk preference evne though it could result in me being shut out.[/quote]

After all these years I'm still surprised that there are so many people that don't understand how the lottery works. You wouldn't have gotten shut out if you ranked Barnard 12th, only possibility is you would have gotten INTO a better ranked school. You would have gotten into Barnard no matter what with your master number.[/quote]

No, not true.  For PK3 there is zero guarantee of a spot at all - this was PK3.  So yes, it was possible to list Barnard 12th and not get in as there are inbound waitlists now.  By listing it further up the list, knowing its not a "popular" school, chances of getting in increased.  [/quote]
