[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So if you make sure you rank the schools according to which school you want the most, next most, etc, do the details of how the algorithm works change anything about what we do when we apply?[/quote] Yes, how you rank the schools has an affect on which schools you can be selected in. Since you can't be chosen for more than one school the algorithm will works it's way through (using this "deferred acceptance" model) until all students are placed at their highest possible rankings. So, not only do your rankings matter to you - they also matter to everyone else who selected that school. Again , keep in mind that the rankings of the students from the school (using the assigned preferences) matter just as much to you and your neighbors.[/quote]
