[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They really all have sibling preference if your new applicant is a strong applicant and your older sibling is in good academic standing and you haven't been a PITA family. You pretty much have to give them a reason (weak academics, no extracurriculars, etc) to not admit a sibling. [/quote] When we asked Sidwell about this they told us, explicitly, that they did not consider Sidwell a "family school" and that we shouldn't count on any sibling preference. [/quote] Siblings have a separate, earlier admission review and Sidwell will provide some "feedback" in December so you have an idea where you stand and can address any concerns. I think the biggest advantage is that all of these schools are a crap shoot in terms of number of applicants v number of spots so if the sibling is "qualified," they are likely to be accepted whereas many qualified, non sibling applicants are rejected because of numbers.[/quote]
