[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If DC2 gets into a school other than ITS, wouldn't DC1 be #1/super high on that school's waitlist? (That's how it works for twins.) Are you worried because this other school doesn't generally accept students at DC1's grade?

I get the feeling that schools generally try to make sure siblings are at the same school, but I could be wrong.[/quote]

Yes, DC1 would be high, but maybe not high enough.  If it's Yu Ying or Stokes.[/quote]

Unless there is another family who has a kid match and is trying to get a sibling into the same grade as DC1, [b]I feel like even YY or Stokes could make it work[/b] because DC1 would be #1 on the waitlist. But I guess it's not a sure thing. If I were in OP's position, I'd probably just rank ITS #1 for DC2. Because in the alternative, even if DC2 gets a good draw and matches with another school, it's just going to cause stress about getting DC1 in.[/quote]

I wouldn't be all that sure. Imagine 3 kids match at DCB for the fall and have 3 siblings in K, OPs child might be 3rd on the waitlist for 1 K spot. They can't make it work if there isn't room. (I guess the high demand schools will have many preK3 spots filled by those with siblings already in though, so maybe less of a worry?)[/quote]
