[quote=Anonymous]Having been through the process more than once, I think it is useful if you have a first choice to let the school know. If you are finishing at a K-8 school, they essentially do this for you in that they ask you to rank your choices and will let a school know that it is your first choice. If you are not in that situation, I think it can be very helpful to send a note letting the school know. At the margins it is helpful to a school to know this. Even for very popular schools, there is no school that is everyone's first choice. So when we applied to NCS, Sidwell, GDS and Burke we let NCS know that it was our DC's first choice. She got in. Got WL at Sidwell and GDS. It's possible that the distribution is just random, but I suspect the first choice letter was a factor (and that if she had listed GDS as first and told them she might have gotten into GDS but not NCS).
