[quote=Anonymous]Two more observations about preferences 1) even if certain spots go to students with equitable access preference in the initial lottery, anecdotally the yield for those spots may be lower than you think, which means those spots may be available for students without EA preference and 2) also anecdotally, it is often easier for one-child families to take a spot in late summer or early fall because they don’t have to consider logistics for other kids. One of my kids matched last year with one of the top schools on PP’s list, but we didn’t take it because there was no way our other kid would get in that year (so he would have to stay at the old school), and the schools/our workplaces were just not close enough to each other to make it work. I know of several other families with 2 plus kids who have turned down highly desirable schools for the same reason.[/quote]
