Not exactly.  2020 had a little thing called the Covid-19 pandemic, which obviously had a huge impact on DC schools and admissions.  In fact, in 2020 DC administered the Walls admissions test at a school in Ward 8 rather than Walls itself, which DC had never done before.  Both these circumstances undoubtedly had an impact on who applied.  So, I hardly think that 2020 is a great place for you to start.

But let’s run with your analysis and take it back a few years before 2020:

2017 (exam)
Matches: 140
Waitlist offers: 60 
Total offers: 200
Count day enrollment: 155
Yield: 78%

2018 (exam):
Matches: 140
Waitlist offers: 85
Total offers: 225
Count day enrollment: 152
Yield: 68%

2019 (exam):
Matches: 140
Waitlist offers: 70
Total offers: 210
Count day enrollment: 160
Yield: 76%

(Sources: MySchool data and the OSSE audit.)

You calculated the yield for 2020, 2021, and 2022 at 66% for each year.

[b]Thus, it does look like you see a decrease in the Walls yield from before the exam to after.[/b][/quote]
