Could you please provide more details? Were you applying for an expansion year? We are thinking to apply next year assuming sibling preference would help. I guess we need to manage expectations.

Do not assume a sibling preference and don't be upset if your younger kid doesn't get in. There are only so many spaces and what might be good fit for one kid in a family may not be a good fit for 1 or more siblings. Don't take it personally.
