[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone who has ever been to a WL open house would know that most of their slots go to siblings, so the notion of open admissions is not accurate. The population is now just replicating itself bc the slots go to siblings. [b]I was pretty turned off by WL not being very transparent about this and their mantra that everyone should just apply.  [/b]And, frankly, although I am an UMC Af-Am, I was equally turned off by their clear interest in looking and feeling as much like a private school as possible. Maybe that is part of the problem and I think they should consider their own atmosphere and presentation. All of this, couple with how abysmal they seem to serve non-at risk, Af-Am students -which was easy for me to see looking at the data on my own - was a complete turn off. All this said, I appreciate that they seem to recognize where they are falling short and want to address it. [/quote]
I am a little confused about this. I also was at an open house and they were absolutely clear that there were 90 fifth-grade seats and 45 of those were expected to go to siblings. How are they not being transparent about the number of spots? I think that is exactly how the seats worked out this year. Yes, it's tough that half the spots are taken by siblings, but there should be 45 new families admitted every year in fifth, plus whatever number of seats they offer for 6, 7, 8, and 9th.[/quote]
