[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems people took themselves off the waitlists at Latin I and Cooper since our number at both campuses dropped by much more than the number of offers made. [b] It’s also interesting that the Cooper campus and BASIS made about the same number of waitlist offers. [/b]
The MV numbers don’t surprise me.  Without a future DCI guarantee, if a family has a bad year there’s not much incentive to stick it out.  And lots of families had a bad year there.[/quote]

I don't know that you can extrapolate any meaning from the real numbers. Trends take a few years to settle out. Even if you wanted to draw conclusions you'd need to look at how many seats were being filled as a baseline. BASIS had 135 5th graders, Cooper 42.

I would suggest to you that there is no meaningful data in the first few years for Cooper. The 5th grade class is a partial class (growing be design next year), and there was a huge unknown in terms of final location and facilities (that appears to be close to settled). It would be unfair to draw conclusions about Cooper's success or failure or the demand for it based on a one or two year data set. [/quote]
