[quote=Anonymous]I think there are baselines and standards, but some of this is luck. And here is where luck factors in: 1) Were there more girls that applied for less girl slots...and your kid happens to be a girl? 2) Did ten kids from your k-8 apply for the same school? 3) How many siblings applied? So yes, there are reasons some kids get in but then there are other things that make certain times/schools/etc harder. So my advice is that if you really think your kid is a strong candidate, apply early and apply often. I know families who applied for three different entrance years and finally got in the third time.
