[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]19:58, you keep freaking out when I don't think you're actually disagreeing with 19:55. They don't pull multiple applicants at once, they pull one at a time and then work the lists accordingly. If you have preference (either sib or boundary/proximity) you boot someone off the list, that person gets moved down. If you don't have preference you get the first available spot per your rankings. The only way you are then booted is if someone with PREFERENCE comes after you, not if someone who ranked the school higher comes after you. They're simply SOL because they were drawn later. You're making it too complicated and YOU are doi a disservice to people here.[/quote] Source. What is your source that if you have a preference you boot somoene off. That is NOT what anyone official has said. If you rank a school #1, no sib or IB for PS or PK, and you are pulled first and you get a spot, you KEEP that spot. You will not later be bumped off when the computer later gets to someone else who has a sib if the computer matches you first. Post a source for you saying you get bumped. This is my last post, because in the end, the most important point is that your ranking matters. If anyone is still doubting that, please please call an official source. Other than that, arguing about the detail you're stating (which was stated to me differently, and again, I have a source and you're not stating your source) is useless. The bottom line for anyone wanting to do this right is still the same: be careful how you rank, and make sure it's the order you really really would want to get in. There is still some luck and randomness involved, but your ranking is key, as is whether you have a sib or you're IB for PS/PK. Other than that, have at the algorithm, I know what I heard mulitple times, and that's what I believe and will act on.[/quote]
