[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, I'm no math wizard, but isn't the lottery the limiting factor? Can we see how many Deal-eligible families lotteried for BASIS? or how many matched families eschewed a BASIS spot for Deal?[/quote]

What we can see is that BASIS consistently has about 300-325 kids match or be waitlisted, total. Of course, some people don't match because they matched somewhere else they ranked higher, but that doesn't exactly reflect well on BASIS. If a lot of people wanted to go to BASIS, they would apply and they would rank it high, and the waitlist would be longer. Like how it is for Latin 2nd St.

We can also tell how many offers BASIS makes. It's about 50-60 for a class of 135 kids. So their offer decline rate is pretty high. If you compare it to Latin 2nd st, the 5th grade waitlist is much longer and the number of offers much lower. So yes the lottery is a limiting factor, but when we view the data as best we can, BASIS doesn't come out looking great.
