# Ranking your child’s applications via a Parent/Carer account

## This article talks you through ranking the preference of your child’s post-16 applications.

ApplicaaOne will ask you to rank your child’s applications in order of preference. The ranking feature has been developed purely to help schools predict intakes and possible class sizes. It is used as a guide for planning purposes only - student rankings must not be considered when making offers. Schools will only see their rank position but will not know which other schools your child has applied to or how far the application has progressed.

ApplicaaOne will ask you to rank your applications as you submit them, but you can come back to your child’s profile at any time to update the ranking using the “Update ranking” button:

*Please note: You must speak directly to the school if you have any questions regarding rankings, as Applicaa will be unable to assist with enquiries of this nature.*

 

Thank you for using our guide. We hope you found it helpful.
