[quote=Anonymous][quote]If you rank your two kids differently you run the risk of forfeiting your sibling preference in the event that each gets into a school that is higher-ranked for him than the one his sibling got into. This is the rare example of a case where it makes sense to rank strategically, rather than in strict order of your preference. [/quote] This is incorrect. There is no strategy or gaming of the system. If one sibling gets in to your #1 school and the other does not, the former sibling is added to the waitlist of the latter [i]even though they were matched to their #1 choice.[/i] This is clear in the FAQs; you are dropped from lower-preferred waitlists except in this instance. If this happens to you, you should enroll both siblings at their respective schools. That will then give both siblings priority enrollment at their respective schools, and you will likely be able to get in to the same school through waitlist movement.[/quote]
