Will waitlist move tomorrow?

Does anyone have intel on when BASIS typically starts admitting students? It looks like they have admitted a bunch before June 1 in prior years.

Last year's data will likely be the most helpful, because they only started admitting for projected yield last year. Previously, they accepted the exact number of students for the seats, and then there would always be a lot coming off the WL. Last year they begain accepting more to account for total yield. Which is to say, there will likely be less movement overall.

I think you might want to double check your "facts" here. For the 22-23 SY they opened 135 seats for 5th and admitted 135. That tracks with the size of the 21-22's 6th grade class (134) and is in fact less than the 21-22 5th grade class (143). The two years prior to that they admitted 135 for 5th grade.

There is nothing in this data that remotely suggests (i) they increased admittances to account for yield or (ii) they have changed the approach this year and last as against prior years.

NP. So would you think they would go roughly to the same spot (60s-80s) in the waitlist?

What data source are you looking at? MSDC says they offered 150 seats in last year’s lottery, and OSSE says they had 129 5th graders on count day. That’s the data people were looking at when they decided BASIS had increased admittances for account for yield. Where did you get the 143 number from? OSSE also says BASIS had and 115 6th graders this year, but you say 134?

I do agree they only offered 135 seats this year, so maybe they decided over admittance was a failed experiment? Or maybe MSDC and OSSE are wrong and you have better data from some other source, but you can’t fault people for looking at the public data.

It’s also what Basis said to parents last year. If they reversed the policy back to the old 135, then look at 2020 data.

They admitted 150 and 143 were on the enrollment data.

That’s the ever enrolled number. It counts everyone who was enrolled for even one day. Since multiple students can fill the same seat sequentially when waitlists are moving, the ever enrolled number is higher than the number of seats available.

Say a classroom has 25 seats. On Monday, the first day of school, 25 students are enrolled in those seats. On Tuesday, 6 students withdraw. On Wednesday, the school moves the waitlist. On Thursday, 6 new students enroll.

The “ever enrolled” number for the classroom is 25 + 6 = 31. 31 different human beings have been enrolled in that classroom. But the classroom never had more than 25 students at one time, and it still only has 25 seats.

I don’t know exact numbers, but I understand a huge number of current 8th graders decided to stay for 9th. Since the building has a limit on how many kids it can accommodate, the school may need a smaller entering 5th grade class. Again, I don’t know the exact numbers. But I do know the school’s plan for managing higher retention is to decrease the entering fifth grade classes.

Zero WL movement still for us on Latin I or Cooper Campus.
