[quote=Anonymous]Nope, you're still not getting it. The only way they're doing a better job of "matching" students is because they're removing your name from the applicant pools at the schools you ranked lower than where you got in. This could conceivably really help some people, so that is why they are calling it "improved matching." There is no weighting, other than the preferences for siblings and IB. This is why they keep telling you to put them in the order in which you would like to go. You're not hurting your chances of getting into your third choice by ranking your true number one. However, it is smart to have your safety schools, since you really do not want to have to into the second chance lottery.[/quote]
