[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You would have to add the school for him post-lottery, and he would go to the end of the line of the sibling waitlist. He would be in a better position if you had lotteried for him along with your DD.[/quote]

Is sibling offered preference ranked by master number, or by time of joining the list?

I was just thinking it might be a way to expand our possible outcomes.  Like if DD matches with a not in demand school and DS is sure to get in as a post-lottery addition with sibling preference, maybe it would have been a wasted spot to have DS list the school at all.  That way we can have possibility of more total schools.[/quote]

Master number for round 1; after that it's based on when you join the list.[/quote]

Thanks.  Are there really enough sibling offereds in any one grade to make a difference?[/quote]

Sometimes, yes. Imagine a new school or one opening a new class to 25 children. Quite a few may have eligible siblings.

Sibling offered is usually a short-time preference, shifting to sibling enrolled or dropping if sibling declines.[/quote]
