[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've heard of one area school that explicitly tries to balance the fairness by offering roughly half the PK & K slots to non-siblings, and half to younger siblings. In essence, it's creating two separate applicant pools. Doesn't solve all the problems, but seems fair to me.[/quote] Sidwell keeps at least half the PK/K slots for new families. Other 50% of slots for alumni children/siblings/faculty children. It in effect lessons the sibling preference at the early grades of course. However, an excellent sibling student can certainly get an entry at the later grades with more of their own track record. Don't have kids there but this makes sense -- the school is desire able enough that the lesser sib preference doesn't hurt their admissions it appears. [/quote]
