[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just to make it 100 percent clear to everyone, if you're applying to places like Latin and BASIS, you need to do it for fifth grade, not sixth grade. If you apply for sixth grade, your chances of getting in are approximately zero. [/quote]

I also recommend looking at other threads on both those schools on this website. In a recent thread discussing them, someone went through and figured out what your odds were of getting a spot at BASIS or either Latin campus for 5th grade and no preference (so no sibling attending or accepted, and no Equitable Access). They are extremely low for Latin -- I can't remember the exact number but it was under 20%. I think BASIS was higher but there are some specific things about the BASIS program that you need to be aware. The reason it's slightly easier to get into (versus Latin, it's still hard to get into) is because some families self-select out of the pool of BASIS applicants because the program is not right for every family or kid.[/quote]
