Yes you can re-rank for anything higher than where you get offered and accept a spot. Not for anything lower though.

You'd have to reapply to those.

I wonder if you can re-rank after you are offered a spot.

Yes. From My School DC FAQ

Can I re-rank the schools that my child is waitlisted at on my My School DC application?

Yes. We understand that families’ priorities may change. Families are now able to re-rank the schools at which their children are waitlisted. Families will be able to do so beginning April 1 by logging into their family account and clicking on the “Edit Rankings” button next to the application they want to adjust. Please note that re-ranking the order of schools your child is waitlisted at does not give you a better chance of getting into a school. If your child is offered a spot off a waitlist and you accept by enrolling your child at that school, your child will still be removed from all waitlists on your application ranked below that school.

Can you re-rank your list after the lottery?

We matched with our no. 9 choice and I have not reranked, only added a few schools, mainly to see how long the waitlists are. Our third choice, Bridges, is the only (remote) possibility for a call (waitlist no. 90).

Our number 1 choice is still our number 1 choice, and it's actually our best shot for a call. (Teens at Breakthrough for PK3)

All my WL are so bad I haven't bothered logging in since the 1st. No use if I'm triple digits everywhere.

but cause = because

OP (and maybe others) I really think you need to get your criteria straight. The likely reason you keep re-ranking is that you're unclear about what it is that's important to you. So different options happen to float to the top based on whatever criteria floats your boat that day. Draft a solid list of criteria, cross-tab with your options, score based on information you've collected, and rank.

If you don't do this, you'll inevitably be unhappy but cause there will be that one challenge you will blame on that one opportunity to re-rank you didn't seize. That's the foundation for regret, never a good foundation to work with.

Not really reranking , exactly, since I'm only WLed at one school, but I did add two schools for the sole purpose of seeing WL movement.

We matched with our #10 school and I've done it twice now, but I still don't feel 100% settled...
