[quote=Anonymous]To clarify, I should have said that of those three choices (Pullen, Goddard, and Chavez), Chavez was filled first.  They said that the school/program order to be filled first was a random order.  So, maybe out of all of the specialty schools in the PGCPS system, Chavez was third this year, Goddard maybe 7th, etc. out of how many specialty schools, 15(?).  However, out of the three schools I was able to choose, Chavez was the first to be filled.  They didn't tell me (and I didn't ask) which came next, Pullen or Goddard.

So, yes, in hindsight, if I knew I was going to get a great Goddard number, I would have picked only Goddard as it was my first choice.  That's the "all eggs in one basket approach"...or the "all or nothing approach".  However, I chose the "better something than nothing approach", never dreaming that ALL of my choices would be "winners" with one choice able to push another choice out of contention.

I hope this at least helps some people understand the process better.[/quote]
