Is this your first choice school?
"Is this your first choice school?"
Well that's a tricky question to answer from the registration form isn't it? I guess the choice is:
1. Yes
2. No
3. Not sure
4. Actually it's a back up option just in case we don't get one of the first 2 choices
So, if in all truthfulness your answer should be 4... what answer do you give?

I see it as effectively asking the question "Do you wish your application to be given equal consideration with others we receive? Yes/No" and would therefore reply "yes" with a clear conscience.

I would definitely say yes.
Private schools can pick and choose who they make offers to. Why give them a reason not to make you an offer?

My son was asked this in an interview and answered 'I am also applying to XYZ and I like different things about each school.' He was offered the place.

DS was asked this in an interview (with us present), replied "no, I'm hoping to go to St Elsewhere" and was offered a scholarship. It may depend on how much they want you.

We had a similar experience to Angelcake, with similar results. The main difference being that I was asked the question rather than DC. I'm a firm believer in honesty being the best policy!
