The way I understand the ranking process is that you should rank them in the order of preference, or rather stated, in the order in which you would accept an offer. For your example, if you put Mayer #1 and Lasalle #2, you win your 1% lottery and you get an offer from Mayer – would you be disappointed that you didn’t get an offer from Lasalle and wish you would be choosing that school instead of Mayer?

For what it’s worth, I am going through the same thing between Lincoln/Mayer (out of boundary) and Lasalle (Proximity). I understand your thought process of putting the “pie in the sky” ones first just to see if you win the lottery, and at worst, get a WL # and see how bad it is. We’ll likely put Lincoln first for the off chance they take out of boundary kids this year and then Lasalle second (we really liked Lasalle so would be ecstatic to get it)
