[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many spots open? How does the lottery work? My kid had interview.  They did ok. What happens after that? They say yes or no and then put how many in a pile?[/quote]

Last year they interviewed 500 (same number interviewed this year).  170 accepted in initial lottery; 211 on the waitlist (not sure what happened to remainder of 500 interviewed - dropped out for whatever reason).  Ultimately last year 69 offered spots off the waitlist.  So decent but not awesome odds for applicants.  (this year all applicants had a 3.87 or above GPA = top score for grades on rubric = interview score is the sole deciding factor for where you rank among the 500 applicants interviewed for acceptances/waitlist).[/quote]

I would surmise that many people who apply to Walls list schools like Banneker and Duke Ellington first, so if applicants get into higher ranked schools through the lottery they would automatically not be accepted to Walls and also not be waitlisted.[/quote]
