Not exactly.  2020 had a little thing called the Covid-19 pandemic, which obviously had a huge impact on DC schools and admissions.  In fact, in 2020 DC administered the Walls admissions test at a school in Ward 8 rather than Walls itself, which DC had never done before.  Both these circumstances undoubtedly had an impact on who applied.  So, I hardly think that 2020 is a great place for you to start.

But let’s run with your analysis and take it back a few years before 2020:

2017 (exam)
Matches: 140
Waitlist offers: 60 
Total offers: 200
Count day enrollment: 155
Yield: 78%

2018 (exam):
Matches: 140
Waitlist offers: 85
Total offers: 225
Count day enrollment: 152
Yield: 68%

2019 (exam):
Matches: 140
Waitlist offers: 70
Total offers: 210
Count day enrollment: 160
Yield: 76%

(Sources: MySchool data and the OSSE audit.)

You calculated the yield for 2020, 2021, and 2022 at 66% for each year.

[b]Thus, it does look like you see a decrease in the Walls yield from before the exam to after.[/b][/quote]

NP and if you are going to be all smug in your response at least get all of your facts straight.  In 2019-2020 Walls offered the entrance exam in two locations- one at Savoy which you mention and one at GW.  Students could choose which location.  The school administered just as many tests as usual.  This had nothing to do with yield or admissions or anything that year.[/quote]
