[quote=Anonymous][quote=SAM2]Thank you for the feedback.  Here are some answers and further questions:

1. Cross referencing grade against admissions results. PPs, why is that cross reference helpful for you?  What will it help you learn? I'm asking because it might guide how to set up something like that.

2. When to enter results. For last year's form, it really was best if people were patient and entered all their results at once.  But I know it's hard to be patient in early March, so I'm trying to think of some modifications so it won't matter as much.

3. Should I add a question about which admission slots people will turn down?  I was thinking last year that it might help people to have a sense of which admission slots will be turned down, so they can gauge whether the waitlist might open up.  Would that be helpful?  Or am I creating some monster no one wants?

4. Cross referencing admissions results against applicant characteristics.  I am thinking about doing something like this, but I am really wary, because reducing admissions to these limited factors really brings out the worst in all of us.  What do others think?[/quote]

I would love to see which slots people turn down.  And I think referencing admissions results vs. applicant characteristics is really tough to do accurately, plus not necessarily representative of what qualities the schools bases their decisions on, especially since parents don't really know what was in the teacher's rec and how the playdate went.
