[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A mix.  Some people do Basis #1.  Some people might have a sibling at Latin Cooper so that for them went ahead of 2nd Street.  Some people prefer a Hardy/Deal feeder, SWWFS, or another school because its close to them.[/quote]

If you have sibling preference at Latin Cooper, it's idiotic to list it #1 above Latin 2nd.  You would list Latin 1 first, so that you could match at Latin Cooper and stay on the waitlist for Latin 1. [/quote]

Idiotic? What if you match at 2nd street and then have a 6th grader at Cooper and a 5th grader at 2nd and are just annoyed with two drop offs all year? What if you live near Kirov and prefer that in the long run?

There is zero cost to listing schools below a school you have a 99.9% matching at .. so people do.

Finally, do we know for sure that applications - match - waitlist = percent matched someplace higher? I am not sure when myschool does all the verification and would not match for wrong grade entered, address, etc.[/quote]
