Anyone giving up a spot at Walls?

It went to 85 last year by August, I believe so far this year it has gone into the low 50s based on how kids my child knows have moved. I think last year was unusual and it usually moves around 60 slots.

What is interesting is that this year SWW only placed 89 students total on the WL compared to 123 in 2018).

Past performance doesn't say much however, here is the data.

15-16 64 offers by Oct
16-17 48 offers by Oct
17-18 60 offers by Oct
18-19 85 offers by Oct

They interviewed roughly 250 students and accepted 140, that leaves roughly 110 students of which 89 were put on the waitlist. That means roughly 21+ students that made the cut for the interview ranked another application high school higher than walls and got in so never showed up on the waitlist.

Or some of the 21+ didn’t get past the Interview stage. Not all students who interview get WL spots (or rank other schools higher). Otherwise they’d just dispense with the interviews. Some are dropped every year.
