[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, my 4.0 DC got waitlisted at Walls. We are somewhat surprised given we assume their recommendations are very good and they are a strong writer (it’s actually a hobby/passion of theirs) but given all the subjectivity of the process we are not shocked. We are going to move forward registering for JR but are wondering whether to make the switch if they get off the wait list… I have been surprised by the number of DC’s friends who are very good students to be waitlisted at Walls (2 out of 7 got in…4 waitlisted with mid-to-high numbers, one deemed “ineligible” after an interview). [b]With the new process I’m wondering if there will be a higher proportion of very strong students going to the DC public’s[/b] (JR, MacArthur, Banneker).[/quote] There are always a ton of very high-achieving students at JR; many (including my own kids) had no interest in Walls/Banneker/Duke because they wanted a bigger school with more activities.
