[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How can anyone know where a child w/ a sibling preference would have ended up in the waitlist if they had never gotten the preference to begin with?[/quote] Every kid got a lottery number (not the number they assigned you when you filled in your application, a different number) which was used to establish rankings. It was one of the hallmarks of the new lottery system- a kid who gets a great lottery number gets in places/is high on waitlists and a kid with a terrible lottery number is universally low down on waitlists.[/quote] Should have added- so you just slot the kid into the waitlist where they would have been without the sibling preference. Not sure if the schools could do this, but My School DC probably could.[/quote]
