[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP above. I think this was the thread, though I’m sure it’s come up before.

I don't think we need to make the decision about which application program we like best now now.  If he gets into multiple and has a choice, I'm sure I'll be back with questions, but the PP who said that no one's odds are great is correct, so I'm not worried about that now.

What we do need to decide in the near future is what to put on the DCC choice form. 
Which is why I'm really asking about strategies for that form.

Does it make sense for someone whose home school isn't Blair to put Blair first?[/quote]

I’m the PP with two kids who got into Blair through the lottery. If you want Blair, put it first. [/quote]

+1. I would rank them Blair, Wheaton, Einstein, then Northwood or Kennedy or vice versa.[/quote]

What would the odds look like for each of those schools.  I worry that I'm trading a 1% chance of getting Blair for a 30 % chance of getting Northwood or Kennedy, when ranking it Wheaton Einstein Blair . . . eliminates that 30%.

But maybe I'm overestimating the odds?

If you do the 2nd round and put your home school 1st or 2nd are you still guaranteed it?  Could we do Blair, Wheaton, Einstein and then if we get Northwood or Kennedy, do Wheaton, Einstein in the second round?[/quote]
