Banneker and Mckinley Interviews

[Anonymous]

I heard tomorrow (2/25) is last day of Banneker interviews. My kid has not heard from Banneker. Does this mean he will not get one? Same goes for McKinley. Is Mckinley still conducting interviews? Thanks in advance!

2/25 is not the last for Banneker. Not sure about McKinley.

I would contact McKinley ASAP. They sent an email to us yesterday as a final reminder to RSVP. It was the first email I had received from them. They mentioned having system issues. Tomorrow and Thursday might be the last dates.

Between this and problems with SWS recommendations, this whole process is such a mess.

What was the issue with the SWS (assuming this is Walls) recommendations?

2/25 is the last scheduled all-day interview day at Banneker, at least as far as current students have been told (these days affect their school day so they're on the schedule). I wouldn't be surprised if the school holds additional interviews for a variety of reasons, but the vast majority of invites should be out. So not hearing by now is probably not good news. I'm sorry.

So what are people doing who have struck out? Move?

Interviews after 2/25 were a possibility before the first round of interviews. This was stated in a meeting.

My kid just got an interview for Banneker today so don’t lose hope! They asked us to come in on Tuesday.

Eastern IB program.

That's my backup plan for sure. And I suspect I'm not the only one.

The IB program there is very good. I think Banneker is better but oh well.

Also put dci, Latin, and Basis on your list. They take very few people but who knows?

Which IB courses does Eastern offer?
