[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Twin parent, if your twins are #1 at each other's matches, your odds are very good. Have you looked at the data for previous year waitlist movement for the two schools in question? It's not a perfect predictor, but it can set your mind at ease. Most schools make a least a few waitlist offers, and many will wind up going deep into their lists. I anticipate your kids will be at the same school before August. Though I can understand why that's a stressful situation to be in.[/quote]

Thanks- I have looked at the data and one of the schools is LAMB which only has one year's worth of data and it was pandemic year so not necessarily indicative of much.  They other is our IB and past few years has made only 1 or 2 offers for PK4 and certainly seems to leave IB kids on the waitlist (which is fine, it just doesn't sound like one of those schools the PP mentioned that lets in all in bounds and hopes for attrition).  We have a June deadline to withdraw from the private preschool that is our backup so were hoping to learn before then!  We are debating putting them both on waitlists for a nearby school that seems to go through its waitlist every year (we had listed it initially but it was dropped from our waitlist when we got the higher ranked match) in the hopes they might get spots but its not clear that would even happen before June.

For LAMB, you really don't have to worry, I'm sure they will get your other twin in. In fact, you can just call the school and ask about it now.
