June waitlist data is up!

Haven’t had a chance to dive into the data yet, but figured I would let others know!

Ooh!

Looks like lots of offers from Mundo and TR. Very few at ITDS. Not so many at Seaton, Garrison, and Langley.

Few at Walls. McKinley and Banneker didn't create waitlists.

Wow, 12 non-feeder offers for Spanish at DCI.

Does anyone have insight into how DCI's waitlist might move for 9th grade in French.

The data is hard to make sense of, even as compared to Spanish and Chinese.

For example DCI showed zero lottery seats available for 9th grade for Spanish or Chinese, but since then has made 20 waitlist offers for each program in June.

In contrast, DCI showed 20 lottery seats available for 9th grade on match day for French. All of those were matched to applicants on match day. And then since then, it shows zero waitlist offers in June.

(We know a couple families with kids with waitlist numbers in the 20s for DCI French and who would love the chance to enroll. In past years the waitlist appeared to move as many as 60 spaces but not sure if that will be the case this year.)

With small numbers like that, it's going to be driven by attrition and offer acceptance rate. So the data is hard to interpret.

Could that also be showing the waitlisted students of one feeder using the excess seats allocated to another feeder?

Actually I checked the DCI board meeting minutes for the May 15 meeting and it says "11 member school applicants on a waitlist on Results Day were offered a seat at DCI." So there's one unexplained I guess.

Looking at DCI's 6th grade lottery data, seems like the waitlists for Spanish were 0 kids from DCB, 11 from Stokes Brookland, 0 from Stokes EE, 0 from LAMB, and 0 from Calle Ocho but 2 from Cook. 2 offers were made to Cook and 11 to Stokes, so 13 total offers. Perhaps someone declined their offer.

Actually no, I think I analyzed this wrong. There were the above listed offers on the member schools' waitlist data, you can select each member school under DCI in the drop-down, but then there were *also* 12 offers on the non-feeder option. I don't think those are the same offers. So it was 11 (or 13) to member schools and then 12 more. But maybe I'm doing this wrong.

On the non-feeder page, the "Matches by Preference Group" table is all zeros (including the no-preference cell), which is what led to my question. I'm still leaning toward the 12 showing the use of seats originally assigned to another feeder (probably LAMB).

I bet most or all were probably siblings.

Right but those are just matches not waitlist offers.

Seems like DCB matched 36 of 38 spots, 2 left over. Stokes EE had 6 left over. LAMB had 1 left over. Calle Ocho 1 left over and Cook 3 left over. So I don't know why you would think it's just LAMB's spots.

I thought incorrectly that the matches table was updated as WL offers went out; now I have no inclination what's going on.

There are not 12 non-feeder offers. It just says 12 off the spanish waitlist at DCI. Those kids are from feeders because you can see that there were more spanish kids at Stokes Brookland than spots.

Whatever leftover spanish seats from any feeder schools are filled by feeder schools who need more spots. That is how it works. So all feeder kids got spots. If any leftover, then sibling is next.

There is no chance for non-feeder families in the spanish track moving forward where there will be more feeder kids in the pipeline.

But isn't it double-counting to make the same 12 waitlisted kids offers on their own school's waitlist and also on the non-feeder waitlist?
