<p>S will be a DC freshman next fall. D will be a HS senior. D has better grades in equally rigorous curriculum from has high school and similar ECs, but [so far at least] doesn't match up on test scores. How does DC feel about siblings? Is any sort of preference given - formal or informal?</p>
<p>I'm afraid I can't answer your question, Whittierst, but I'll be in the same boat. Anecdotal evidence from my brother suggests that DC does give some preference to siblings but to what degree, I do not know. He will be a junior while I'm going to be a HS senior (like your daughter) so I guess we'll both find out around the same time.</p>
