[quote=Anonymous]I think some schools are more candid than others about their approach to siblings, and I also think that the reality is that non-sibs can be at a distinct disadvantage. I get why schools would try to keep families "together" but at the same time it seems rather unfair to only or oldest kids who are trying to enter the school. If schools have even a mild sibling preference and your (non sibling) child presents with a very similar profile to a sibling applicant (i.e. same gender, similar birthday, similar test scores), the new kid is likely to not get the offer. And, even if the school goes to the waitlist, they likely aren't going to go with the new kid because they already have that profile in the class. [/quote]
