[quote=Anonymous]There is no weighting by rank. They don't go through all the number 1's first, then all the #2's. They go through every application, in lottery number order. They do it in batches: in-boundary first, then siblings, then everyone else. When they get to your number, you're assigned to the highest pick of yours that still has spaces left, and wait-listed at all of your higher picks. Rank your choices in your actual order of preference. There is no way to increase your odds by changing up the order. What I don't know is what happens if you have sibling preference and put another school ahead of your sibling school. My bet is either you forfeit your preference or forfeit your chance at the higher ranked school.[/quote]
