[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is strange to you about the application process?

I can't figure out how the wait list is determined. For example last year 100+ kids were put on the wait list. Are they ranked 1-240 by the school and the first 140 are offered slots? Or does your lottery number play a role if there are more qualified applicants than slots (And yes I realize that at least another couple hundred didn't make it to the interview stage and aren't reflected on the wait list).

Yes, it's a straight ranking. There is no lottery (ie luck) involved. People on the wait list move up as initial admissions offers are rejected. Lots of kids who get initial offers don't go so there is a fair amount of wait list movement. [/quote]

Thanks! Do they share how much the admissions test vs the interviews are weighted? My DC would be fine on the test but I am very skeptical of how well he would do in an interview, particularly with student (vs adult) interviewers.[/quote]
