[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What happens at Banneker if in the lottery, the number of matches is less than the seats available? Is there a second round of the process?[/quote]

With over 1000 applicants, this is a non-issue. In fact, per DC, most of their close friends got in from the waitlist.[/quote]

Really? Because when I look at the data here https://public.tableau.com/app/profile/aaron2446/viz/MSDCSeatsandWaitlistOfferData_draft/MSDCPublicDisplay, I see for SY 22-23 that 220 seats were offered, 171 kids matched, and 0 were waitlisted. So what happened to those 49 unmatched seats?

In SY 23-24, it says 240 seats offered, 240 matches and 72 waitlisted, and then 70 offers made. So maybe they exhausted the waitlist, maybe there were two kids left on the waitlist. But if they had exhausted the waitlist and still had spots, how would they be filled?[/quote]

Their info seems to always be off, but I have no clue by how much. I do not know how many students they accepted overall, but there are 255 freshman.[/quote]

PP here. Take this with a grain of salt, but my DC mentioned that there was a glitch where more students were accepted from the waiting list than intended. Some of their friends were in the 100s and got in.

That's exactly what I'm saying. There's something not adding up, not transparent, and my 10+ years of experience with DCPS has taught me not to trust that things are being done ethically.[/quote][/quote]
