It’s a small crowded school. So unless a large percent opt all virtual or OSSE relaxes their requirements I would say no. Most likely hybrid.

Anyone hear anything yet?

Here is what I would assume if that helps with some anxiety or worry: if your child has a GPA from 7th grade that is high when unweighted (so I would say 3.6 or higher?), they will get an interview. If your kid has a 3.9 or 4.0 they will 100% get an interview.

Just got the interview email.

GL, everyone!

Yes, e-mail arrived. DS didn't make it. The school is not a good fit for DS, but he wanted to try. Wilson it is.

Just received the following message:

>Although your student met the minimum GPA requirement of having a 3.0 at the end of last school year, it did not meet the requirement of having your student be scheduled for an interview.

My DC had almost straight A's so I have no understanding what this means.

My daughter got an interview. It went to my spam folder, I wouldn't have checked spam for days if it didn't know emails were going out.

Thanks DCUM!

Not sure how to calculate
Math A-
Sci B-
Hist A-
French A-
Eng A

The old fashioned way where minuses meant -.3, I think that 3.56 is the average. Does anyone know what the cutoff was for the interviews?

What is up with that?

Algebra 1 A
Spanish A
English A
Gym A

I hope that Walls will be more transparent then previous years about their admission process. Who are you going to ask about this? Suggestions. DC just received the same message and a 3.6 from Deal. I heard that they are trying to figure out ways to get more kids from Wards 7 and 8 and this new admissions policy was supposed to help them achieve their "diversity" goals.
