Siblings — Guidance for Families Applying with More Than One Child
Families applying to schools with more than one child face a strategic problem that families with a single applicant do not. Sibling priority rules mean the chance of placing children together depends on how the applications are ordered and combined, so a list that looks sensible child-by-child can leave siblings split across schools. This project studies that strategic structure in centralized assignment and develops practical guidance families can use when applying for several children at once.
Target population
Families applying to school with two or more children in a centralized assignment system
