why do we need to put more than one school name on the list if we prefer only one secondary school.

the title says it really.
if we have only one school in our mind why is it wiser to put some other secondary choices in our secondary application.
maybe i feel a bit confused by the whole process.
i will be really grateful if you enlighten me.
thanks in advance.

If you don't put other preferences, and don't get the one you put down, then your application wil sit and wait while they give other people what they've asked for, and you will get whatever places are left. Those are likely to be at schools you definitely wouldn't have picked!

Don't leave blanks unless you genuinely have no preference between the other schools you might be given.

Because if you don't get into that school then they will decide for you.
