| We would like to know more about the process and likely time frames. DS has a very good number, so we are hopeful. |

| I know at least 4 that are turning down Walls to stay at BASIS. 190 matches offered this year though - so about 50 matches have to turn down their spots before Walls will turn to the waitlist (since they want a class size of 140-45). |

I agree walls over-matched, but usually they have a freshman class of 155-160 on count day. So only about 30-35 “nos” before they turn to the waitlist. |

Wow, it looks like this year will be even worse for Walls than last year.
In fact, the yield has been going down every year since Walls scrapped the admissions test. |

They now accept more kids than you have spots for. This is a recent change. It is not a one for one as it used to be. |

What are you babbling about? Seriously you think kids on the waitlist are that much less qualified than those accepted? They all had the same GPA. |

| I wouldn't expect much movement. They have emphasized not going to the wait list. That's why they admitted more kids. |
