We investigate first choice-maximality (FCM) (i.e., a maximal share of students is matched to their reported first choices), a common desideratum in the design of school choice mechanisms. No FCM mechanism can be stable; however, we find first choice-stability (FCS) (i.e., no student forms a blocking pair with her first choice) to be the strongest rank-based relaxation of stability that is compatible with FCM. Focusing on the class of FCM and FCS mechanisms, we show that the Pareto efficient members form a minimally manipulable subset (including the Boston mechanism). Moreover, we identify the Nash equilibrium outcomes of any mechanism in this class when all students act strategically (generalizing (Ergin and Sönmez, 2006)) and when some student report truthfully (in part generalizing (Pathak and Sönmez, 2008)). Our results suggest a novel approach to the design of school choice mechanisms where strategic students self-select into receiving their school in a first step, so that the matching of truthful students can be made independently of the usual incentive constraints.
