 Ours were assigned to the same school as well. We were
 assigned our attendance area school which I think was
 about our 8th choice.

 Jessica Tashker, another twin mom who is not on this
 forum, is planning to talk to EPC about the lottery
 this year. It looks like all twins were linked - I
 haven't encountered one family who got two separate
 applications. Linking the applications reduces your
 chances of getting a school you want. If you're
 interested in talking to her to learn about what she
 finds out, and/or discussing round 2 strategies, please
 email her: jessica.tashker at gmail.comI'm sorry for
 everyone who got a school they aren't happy with! I
 hope things go better in Round 2!!

 I'm a bit confused by this thread. In the past, people
 were upset if their twins were assigned to different
 schools. SFUSD has tried to get twin siblings assigned
 to the same school even if they were not linked. I
 didn't look at the application this year. Isn't there
 something to check on the app so the system knows there
 is a sibling, even if they're not linked? If so, the
 algorithm will run the kids separately. Whichever child
 gets the highest ranking school on that family's list,
 the system will then try to place the twin in the same
 school.Receiving as assignment to a school in your top
 10 is pretty good, though I understand you'd prefer
 something higher. I would be curious to know how many
 families received assignments in their top 5.
