Depends on school, and most will tell you. For example, Maret explicitly says they have a strong sibling preference. Sidwell says they don't. Just ask!

Really I'm surprised Holton would not accept your son. Shame on them!

PP not odd at all - different schools, different admissions criteria.

Oddly, they refused to give my son an admission preference based on his sister's attendance at Holton-Arms.

In general, yes, but the sibling still has to meet criteria. Let's say sibling's scores/recs/personality are the same as non-sibling, sibling will most likely get the spot.

If your older girl is in a specific private school, does the younger sibling have a higher percentage to be accepted (one year younger)?
