How does ranking applications work?
Posted by:It is very important that you rank the schools you are applying to in order of preference.
Once accepted into a program, all of a student’s lesser-ranked applications, including any other acceptances, will be “dropped” or “released”, so that those spots can be offered to other students. For example, if you get accepted into your #1 ranked choice and apply to 3 programs, the #2 and #3 choice will be dropped.
