[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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, I feel like even YY or Stokes could make it work 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]

Do siblings jumping into the Sibling Enrolled category rank by lottery number or by the date their sibling enrolled?[/quote]

Good question. I don't know. I think I assumed by lottery number.[/quote]

I e mailed MSDC on this. It must be by date enrolled because I asked what would happen if I sought to enroll my child in a school with sibling preference despite him being matched to another school. They said this: In this case, you would need to put the student back on the WL for the sibling school and ask for the sibling preference. There is no guarantee of a seat for PK, the sibling preference will put him on the waitlist behind the lottery applicants with preferences but above the post lottery applicants who do not have a preference.[/quote]

No, I mean if DC2 matches at a higher ranked school and enrolls, bringing DC1 onto the waitlist as a Sibling Enrolled.  Does DC1's position in that category depend on her lottery number or on the date she joined the category?[/quote]
