[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Or I should state - your ranking doesn't have an effect on your placement. It has an effect in that they go down the list so your first school is the first to give a seat if available, but your ranking DOES NOT INCREASE YOUR PROBABILITY OF GAINING A SEAT. [/quote] It most certainly does. You will not steal a seat from a higher preferenced child if that match is more equitable for both parties. That's the whole point of deferred placement! Youre given a seat but it can be taken away and given to someone else if the algorithm deems it as a better match - and that match takes into account both child's assigned preferences, whether they are location based, merit based or sibling based.[/quote]
