Actually they announced that this year you don’t have to be logged in as the student.

I think they mean that you have to fill out the choice form, even if you want your child to attend their home school.
Where do you get the choice form?
It's a Google form that has to be completed via the student's account. Central office should email you the link.

I don’t understand what you’re asking. How can they guarantee Einstein for you if you put a different school for #1? Because if there is room and you get a spot, you will be given #1. They can’t grant you spots at two schools at once.

Is this in writing somewhere? Because the letter doesn’t say that.

I noticed this change too. I’m worried it’s true.

If you rank another school #1 and the home school #2, you are guaranteed one of those two schools. If you rank the home school #1, you are guaranteed the home school.
