Interesting to ponder…my D2 having just survived the admissions process - her older sister attends a top LAC. Perhaps some colleges assumed D2 would not attend a much lower ranked college? Who knows? Or perhaps they guess you are willing to pay $$$ if older sibling goes to an expensive private? Or would a far away school wonder if you would let the second child go far away when the first is at state school? You could parse this 6 ways from Sunday - but it is something I have never seen discussed here on CC. Congratulations - I think you brought up a unique topic!
