  A vast majority of the school choice literature focuses on designing
mechanisms to simultaneously assign students to many schools, and employs a
"make it up as you go along" approach when it comes to each school's admissions
policy. An alternative approach is to focus on the admissions policy for one
school. This is especially relevant for effectively communicating policy
objectives such as achieving a diverse student body or implementing affirmative
action. I argue that the latter approach is relatively under-examined and
deserves more attention in the future.
