[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you all sure that s/he moves to the bottom of sibling enrolled, and not in that category based on lottery number?[/quote]

I think the PPs are wrong and you end up placed based on your initial lottery number w/in your new pref category (although w/ #1 on the WL being the best you can do). When we move IB to a new school post lottery for PK4, we jumped from 70+ to 1 on the WL and jumped other IB families. We got in and some IB families didn’t, so we definitely did not go to the bottom of the new preference category. [/quote]

This is correct.  Your waitlisted kid's master number will determine where in the "sibling enrolled" waitlist he is- so yes, the faster you get your older kid enrolled the better as otherwise someone already in the"sibling enrolled" could get an offer if a spot opens up before you enroll your older kids and you otherwise would have jumped ahead.

This is 100% NOT true. Once the sibling enrolls, the other sibling (assuming they already received the sibling offered preference) will not see an improvement in their #. Sibling enrolled preference is exclusively reserved for students whose sibling are currently attending the school (or were until COVID 19...) Newly registered students are not able use the preference for their siblings.  I think they even changed the name of the preference from sibling enrolled to sibling attending preference to make this clearer for parents.
