I don't think you're right about this, PP.  The FAQ clearly states that once a child gets a spot, he/she will be wait listed only at schools ranked higher on his/her application.

So, if child #1 is accepted at 1st choice school and child #2 at 3rd choice school, child #2 will rise to the top of the wait list for 1st choice school, and keep the same position on the wait list at 2nd choice school.  Child #1 will NOT be wait listed at 3rd choice school or any other school, because child #1 got in to 1st choice school.

You should call or email and ask. The other cities on which this is based--like Denver--have elaborate algorithms that definitely account for sibling preference. I'm pretty sure PP to whom you are responding is correct. They definitely don't have all the details of the algorithm online.[/quote]

You might be right, PP.  I retract my post.  I suppose it would be more fair to give both siblings the option of attending the 3rd choice school than to force them to attend different schools, even if that policy is inconsistent with the FAQ.[/quote]
