[quote=Anonymous]But that is the whole point! There is no more incentive to rank your first choice #1 than for it to increase your chances of getting in if you rank it #1! The ideal matching system matches not just what the school is looking for (families with preference first, than no preference) but also what families are looking for (I wanted School A most, so ranked it #1, so I should get a better shot than the next person who ranked School A #2). There is no additional incentive to do anything differently if the parent's ranking counts, it just makes it count more. But you were always a fool to not arrange your choices in the order you most wanted them, because to order them differently means risking getting into your #4 school and being dropped from #s 5-12. If you liked #5 better than #4, you should have switched their rankings. [/quote]
