[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you get a great master number you have a shot at some of these. If you have a crappy number you won’t. Unless you have more than 12 schools you are willing to attend, I don’t subscribe to the wasted spot theory. Only put schools you would be willing to attend and rank in your true preference. [/quote] "Wasted" might be strong, but it feels a little pointless maybe to rank schools that haven't had spots for OOB kids in years. Even if OP had a master number of 1, they'd still be 60+ spots back on the wait list for LT, after the IB kids and kids with sibling preference. I think sometimes applicants think they increase their chances by using all 12 spots, but if the very best possible lottery draw won't get you into a school, you're not helping yourself by listing it.
