[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is my understanding of how it works.  I asked these questions last year so I am not sure whether anything has changed since then.  I have a 9th grader there now.

They interview the top 250 scores.  If the cut off for getting 250 ends up with more than 250 (meaning what if 15 kids get the same score) then they interview all those kids.  The applicants are ordered by a combination of test scores and interview scores.  Then this order of students is submitted to the DC lottery.  It is combined with the order in which the kids prioritize their preferences.  So if a student gets into Walls and Banneker but the student”s first choice is Banneker, the student will be matched with Banneker and taken off the Walls list.  The first 140 matched students are accepted to Walls.  The remaining students interviewed are on the waitlist in order of their combined scores.

The interviews are generally with 2 students and one faculty member.  How it is scored is unknown to me.  [/quote]

Thanks. This is helpful. Anyone know what they are looking for in the interview. Also, how much does the parent interview matter?[/quote]

Don’t know for a fact but if you are from ward 7 or 8, you are probably an in.[/quote]

Translation: I know absolutely nothing about the process, but it's fun for me to weave conspiracy theories centered around race and impugn the motives of people I know nothing about.[/quote]

Guess you did not read the Washington post article a few months back how they said they want better ward representation at the school........[/quote]
