[quote=Anonymous]Further evidence of the confusion, from Mundo Verde's admissions page:

admissions
As a D.C. public charter school, Mundo Verde is free and open to all D.C. residents.

Mundo Verde is participating in the My School DC common application and lottery this year. The application is now available!

[b]Visit www.myschooldc.org and mark us as your #1 option to increase your chances of being part of our community[/b]. Our grades go from PreK-3 to 5th grade. The deadline to apply is March 3, 2014. The results of the lottery will be available in April.

"mark us as your #1 option to increase your chances of being part of our community"???  Hmmm, interesting... apparently I'm not the only one who thinks how you rank the schools on your application impacts your chances of admission!

Again, maybe me AND MV have it wrong... but now maybe you can understand how, the issue of sib preference notwithstanding, it was totally clear to me that ranking order matters in a big way, and has in impact on your chances.  If sibs get in first, maybe you still don't have a snowball's chance if you're without sibs, but stop acting like the impression that ranking a school #1 actually impacts your chances.  Obviously even one of the most in-demand schools has the same impression and has put it on their website on their admissions page.
