The matching-system-assignment based only on given preferences.
The preferences from the course organizers to the studends are independent from the Matching-System. If you not got a place last semester in your favorite-course, you should contact the course-organizers before matching ends. He can give you a better ranking for your favorite-course.
However, some courses are heavily overbooked. If students only specify a few preferences, so it can also happen again that the desire course can not be assigned.
