[quote=Anonymous]Ranking matters, but you don't get PRIORITY for it. You could rank a school #1, but that doesn't mean you get in of you're pulled later in the draw. People,pulled before you will get a spot first if its at the top of their list (even if the top of their list is now their #10 ranked school because their 1-9 is filled.) Someone earlier up the thread insinuated that if you put a less-desirable school as#1 you'd have a better chance of getting in even if you're a late draw because you ranked it #1. In other words, game the system by ranking a school with more slots (fewer preferenced spots) or that is just less popular as your #1 because this will somehow guarantee you a spot. This is not the case and it only decreases your chances (or removes the chances all together) of getting into your true "preferred schools."[/quote]
