[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The school has posted a "revised" lottery list on its website. We still have one child who was accepted. . .but the other child today moved from an okay slot on the wait list to near the bottom of the list for their grade. What happened to sibling preference??![/quote] Sibling preference may not kick in until you accept the spot. Then your other child will jump to the top. (At least that's how it works -- legitimately -- with some schools).[/quote] That's how it works in the common lottery. Once you enroll (not just accept, but fill out all paperwork), then the sibling moves to the front of the waitlist. That is why there is an incentive to enroll early with the common lottery if you have a sibling who is waitlisted. When more schools did individual lotteries, often it was not done this way; i.e., the sibling was already at the front of the waitlist after the lottery was run. [/quote]
