[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does the Basis list move so much? Where do those kids go after declining a Basis spot?

[b]If everyone is telling me that Basis is more math and Latin is more humanities, how do the two schools maintain those specializations if the prospective students don't really get a chance to pick between them?[/b]

Why is Hardy nowhere on the thread if up until a year ago it was mostly OOB? I get that this year 6th great was almost all IB, but why doesn't anyone try to get in? With all the fear about McFarland, is noone on this forum trying to get into Hardy? [/quote]

Maybe some families apply to both, but my guess is selection bias in who applies to each--more STEM kids may apply to Basis, and more humanities-oriented kids may apply to Latin.  [/quote]

Mostly people who live outside the Wilson feeders apply to both, and more rank Latin 1st. Some also put Hardy on their list, but Hardy offers fewer OOB seats. They "settle" for BASIS but have trepidation about it.[/quote]
