[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Waitlisted everywhere, best number is 130 worst is 286.  Doubt we will get off the waitlist, guess we are going private.  Good luck everyone! [/quote]

Same here! Wait listed everywhere for my twins.  Now trying to decide on private. Smh[/quote]

Since there is no sibling preference, we didn't even bother to try.  The odds of getting two slots in the same school were astronomical, so I didn't think it was worth it.  We made other plans.  The PG lottery system is virtually impossible for twins.[/quote]

Not true. I know of a couple twins and a set of triplets who got in.[/quote]

Agree.  The two sets of twins I know that did the lottery last year got consecutive numbers on the waitlist (#13 and #14, #42 and #43), and a set of twins in my kid's school both got in 2 years ago.  I'm sure there are many more, but I'm only speaking for twins I personally know.  [/quote]

That speaks to my theory that you can register the twins as ONE unit in the lottery and if they get in they both get in... but I wasn't able to find it in writing anywhere online.   I could swear I read it somewhere though.

As I said, you children have half the chance of winning this way (individually) because you are entering 2 kids only 1 time.  But if they do get in both get in.[/quote]

I don't think that's the case though. Each child has their own school ID number and they enter the lottery based on the student ID number. I think you actually have a greater chance of getting in because if one child gets in, the second child automatically gets the following number. On the lottery result roster, there are no double entries for place. Each place on the waitlist has a discete ID number. [/quote]
