There is no point in arguing with you, you either refuse to understand it or you are trying purposefully to mislead people.  You acknowledge weighting for sibs and IB (which only applies for PS/PK), but you are denying that you are also weighted on your ranking.  That makes you half right, HALF WRONG.

There isn't weighting of sibs and IB. Those are in effect separate lotteries. IB goes first, then sibs, then everyone else. If there are more people in the IB round than there are slots everybody in the sibs or general rounds has zero chance. Zero chance -- not a slim chance, zero chance.

There is no weighting.[/quote]

Wow, now people are just making random rules up.  This is ridiculous.  Also, note the lack of verifiable source for this post as well.  Believe at your own risk.[/quote]

From the FAQ: 
"When there are more students than spaces at a school, students who have a preference (such as a sibling preference) will be the first to be offered spaces. Then, random selection decides which other students will be offered spaces.

Students will be matched with no more than one school. My School DC will try to match each student with their 1st choice, then their 2nd choice, and so on through the student’s list."

No weighting. Priority. Random selection. Students matched in order of their choices.
