[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The hard part is figuring out what your preference is, or with siblings, what's best for the family as a whole and how to leverage sibling preference.[/quote]

There is no sibling preference for application schools.[/quote]

Right, but when doing the 9th grade lottery there may be a sibling at Latin or DCI or somewhere, or there may be younger siblings to consider. People who apply to application schools can also apply to lottery schools at the same time. [/quote]

It is extremely unlikely that a family would have a child in HS at Latin or DCI and not already have the younger sibling enrolled in the MS, negating the need to lottery into those programs. Those schools offer so few seats for 9th (only the French track offered any lottery spots for 9th last year, both Latin campuses combined offered only 16 seats for 9th) that this just isn't really a thing.

So while I'm sure plenty of families will rank a lottery charter like DCI or Latin alongside application schools for 9th, the number of these people for whom sibling preference would come into play is so small (if it even exists) as to not matter.[/quote]
