[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]

This is completely opposite what I was told last year.  I called a number of found on the PGCPS web-site and also called Robert Goddard Montessori and asked and was told that each twin would be entered into the system independently, that they would get a separate ID and wait list number.  And that if one got in, that the other was not guaranteed a spot.  I was told that sibling preference is only extended when one child is already enrolled in the school, so basically older and younger siblings, but not same age siblings.

Oh well.  We made different arrangements and we're happy with the path that we chose for our twins.[/quote]
