Lets clear some misunderstanding on this topic. Remind all forumers tat the first statement about the Sch has COP of XXX is juz historical info as a guide. The Sch doesnt pre-set any COP. Think of it as the MOE supercomputer first ranks all nationwide students by T-score in descending order, then processes No.1 student's first choice. Only after posting No.1 student to his school will the computer process No.2 student. It is completely based on merit, meaning the n+1 student must wait for the n student to be posted before it is his turn. So even if the n+1 student puts ABC sch as first choice, the n student who puts ABC sch as sixth choice still gets priority to be posted to ABC.
Many of my friends said is CHOICE before MERIT because the student choose it as 1st choice. I am confuse over this with clause 10.2.
Do read page 12 carefully. It is crystal clear tat posting is based on merit n choice does NOT override Tscore.[/quote]If we change the scenario a bit in clause 10.2, John has lower T-score than Mary.
Hence, Mary will get the place first even if she put School A as 3rd choice.
Alright. Understood.
Thank you Timmy21
