[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MV was my second-to-last choice. Love that MV families assume it is everyone's first choice![/quote]

I think you what love more is to assume that MV families think that way, which is definitely not true.

Quoting PP:
"Most likely everyone that got called off of the first round of the WL probably ranked MV pretty high on their lottery list"[/quote]

I would have assumed that too just based on how the lottery works. If you had a good enough lottery number to get off the WL at MV, I would have assumed that if you ranked it low you would already be in a school that you ranked higher than MV and therefore not on the WL anymore. For example, I ranked Seaton below MV and hit into Seaton initially, had I done the opposite, I would not have been wait listed at MV in the first place. Although I do realize that some people fill their WL with schools they are unlikely to get into because they have a good fall back (either in bounds school or private).[/quote]

I think MV families tend to think their school is more popular/harder to get into than other schools. I listed a bunch of schools ahead of MV that are much harder to get into (all DCPS where I had no preference). If MV had a better location, then I would have ranked it higher.[/quote]
