[quote=Anonymous]In a similar situation here: the school where our older kid got in - which wasn't our top pick, but we're happy with regardless! - took a couple of days to enroll my older OOB/lottery accepted child...but our younger kid - who had listed a different school as THEIR top pick, and gotten in there, since we hadn't known which of the dozen schools on our older child's list would actually come through - was waitlisted. So, to review, now the younger kid has an offer from one school ranked HIGH on their list, but is still waitlisted at a LOWER school where their older sibling was accepted. 
I had thought that after sibling was accepted, younger sibling would move up the waitlist. But their waitlist number has stayed exactly the same. (Unless there really are EXACTLY 32 older siblings who were both offered admission to this school AND had all their paperwork in sooner than 48 hours. Which would be one hell of a coincidence.)
Seriously, though: what's the move here? IS the younger kid supposed to jump up the waitlist, or stay put? Should we accept the offer we've received - or would that eliminate the waitlist option, since the sibling acceptance school was originally ranked lower?[/quote]
