[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did anyone match at McKinley Tech? Having struck out in our latest attempt to get DC (7th grade) on track for a good high school, how hard is it to get in? I'm confused by how they didn't match all of their seats, does that mean people who didn't get waitlisted get a second look? It seems a shame to let so many seats go empty.[/quote] They have admissions criteria (PARCC 4 or 5 in 7th grade) and 3.0 GPA in 7th and first half of 8th grade. They also have students do an interview. 780 applied. 220 were offered admission. But 61 students ranked another school higher and thus were not eligible to match at McKinley / in effect gave up their seat. Had those 61 students ranked McKinley first, they would have gotten in.
