[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The fact they took another kid with lesser stats and no connection, I won’t lie, that would seriously piss me off. [/quote]

Agree. I think OP's anger is justified. I think it benefits everyone, including the University, if they admit a (qualified) sibling. It seems strange that they wouldn't admit this student. Yield protection for high stats doesn't make sense if there is already an established relationship.  [/quote]

Would you say that if that qualified sibling took your DC's place?

Just curious. [/quote]

Yes I would say that. I would not resent this because I believe what I said. I think it benefits everyone for qualified siblings to be admitted. [/quote]

The conflation of the benefits for “everyone” with one for this family is remarkable.

In fact, sibling preference works to the detriment of other families with “qualified” applicants by reducing the number of spaces available for their kids.
