[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gds is approximately 50 students over their enrollment cap. [/quote]

So they are taking 50 less this year?[/quote]

Which spread out over all the grades, is not that much of a reduction.[/quote]

It will be a very significant impact this admissions cycle, because it's a zero-sum game. If GDS must be at 1,075 or less by this fall, it will need to really under-admit this spring, and then fill in any open spots below 1,075 from the wait list after the June binding date.  It can't rely on yield projections this spring alone to get to 1,075 or less.  This might be a great year for a first-choice letter.

I'm not going to get into specific numbers, but the current headcount for pre-K through 11 already isn't that far off from 1,075.  We'll know in about a month, but I'd be very surprised if the number of admits for the typical expansion years (4th, 6th and 9th) isn't a small fraction of that for a typical year.  Absent unusually high attrition or a decision to really downsize the pre-K and K grades (highly unlikely), there is no other option if GDS must be at 1,075 or less come fall. [/quote]
