Bolded is an example of why cherry picking a single data point isn't useful. BASIS pulled 98 kids off of WL which was indeed higher than prior years (e.g. +23 YoY) but there were 52 more kids on WL this year than last.

OG Latin pulled 25 more kids off WL than last year. But there were 86 more kids on WL than last year.

So what's the more meaningful data point? Kids who were pulled in off WL (when the class size remained basically constant) or kids left on WL who did not get in? I would argue the latter, but at a minimum any reasoned analysis demands consideration of more than a single data point.

About the same percent of applicants got offers this year at both Latin I and BASIS as in the previous two years. So your odds of getting in were about the same, despite the increase in applications.

Which means more people declined offered seats, despite no obvious increase in the fixed supply of "good" middle school seats across the city.[/quote]
