[quote=Anonymous]Comparing the YY inital random acceptance to the YY preK class list as of mid-Sept

18 of 33 random admits enrolled, 55%
8 of 10 in the first 10 on wait list, 80%
6 of 10 from 11 - 20 on wait list, 60%
4 of 10 from 21 - 30 on wait list, 40%
4 of 10 from 31 - 40 on wait list, 40%
2 of 4 from 41 -44 on wait list, 50%
Names that did not appear by mid-Sept (there may have been a late Sept shuffle), original wait list number 45 to 229

So if your application was submitted such that your WL number was greater than 45, your chance at admission was 12.6%.  The 33 random spots divided by 262.  262 is the sum of the initial wait list (229) plus initial spots offered (33).

If your application was submitted early enough to be on the top 44 slots on the original wait list, your chance of admission was 100%.

At Stokes, there were so many PreS/PreK siblings in 2012-13, that a random lottery was not held.  So the chance of admission was directly related to how high on the WL your child was, directly related to when you submitted the application.  If you were last on the wait list, your chance of admission was ZERO.

At Washington Latin, all 5th graders were eventually offered slots.  It is unknown how many slots were available in 6th, 7th, 8th, or 9th, but I would guess that application submission order made a difference.  Latin is going to a randomly ordered wait list for 2013-14 admission.
