[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am getting confused. I thought the algorithm doesn't weight the parents' ranking, but lots of people are saying now that it does.[/quote] You thought right, and they thought wrong.[/quote] Ha, okay. Wishful thinking on some people's part that putting #1 is going to help. Thanks.[/quote] Right, because somehow your opinion on this is more legitimate than what actual authorities involved this year, in this lottery in this are saying... Ha, okay.[/quote] Here's what putting a school at #1 does - it makes it your #1 school choice. If you get accepted in it, then great. If you don't then it moves down the line. It says, "I prefer this over the other schools I selected, so if I get in, I want to keep it". Your #2 school says "I prefer this over the other schools I selected accept for #1, and if I get into #2 then great! If I get into #1 then disregard #2 and give me #1".[/quote]
