Just had a quick question about ranking programs as I begin to formulate my rank list. Hypothetically, let's say a program ranks you No. 1.

If you list that program on your rank list somwhere, am I right in believing that you can do no worse than match at that program (unless the program lied to you)

Also, if you are listed No. 1 on that program's rank list, and you put them 7th on your match list, then there is not a possible way that you could match at programs 8-15 on your match list?

So with the above scenario, your baseline is the program that ranked you No. 1, and then you simply move up on your rank list from that program if spots are available?

Thanks
