[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, the likelihood is that you will get into BASIS, Latin I or Latin II and you won’t face the choice of having to send your child to EH, where the overwhelming majority of students are below grade level. I wouldn’t borrow trouble. [/quote]

Eh based how 4th grade families fared in the lottery at my kid's school, likelihood is low you'll get into any one of these. Maybe a 20-25% chance?[/quote]

You can probably approximate the chances by using BASIS numbers, because BASIS has less demand than the Latins. There were 473 applications for BASIS this year and the original waitlist was 235. They've since made 44 offers. So about 60% of the kids who wanted BASIS have either gotten an offer or were accepted at preferred schools this year. Those aren't great odds, but they aren't terrible, either.[/quote]

Scroll down on the page and you'll see how many were siblings or other preferences. 32 out of 140 matches. [/quote]

Even so. 473 applied, and only 191 are left on the waitlist, so the remaining 282 had a bite at the apple. The siblings were first in line, but of non-siblings, 57% still got an offer or a preferred school.[/quote]
