[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For walls I think there is a rubric and you get scores for each component; top 190 composite scores get offers; waitlist is in score order.[/quote]

I think this is correct. But there's not that much nuance in the rubric, so I bet there are kids on the waitlist with the same score, which maybe makes the waitlist order random at some point. The kid at waitlist #65 might have the same overall score as the kid at waitlist #40, for example.[/quote]

It’s also my understanding that the only way the random lottery number comes into play is when applicants have the same composite score. According to the rubric, the waitlist is ordered by applicants’ composite scores: “GPA, recommendation letter, interview, and writing sample scores are added together to give each applicant a cumulative application score. All applicants are ranked according to the total number of points earned for determination in the My School DC Lottery.”

OP, an overview of the application requirements for all the selective high schools is available here, along with links to the more detailed rubrics for individual schools: https://www.myschooldc.org/how-apply/applying-high-school[/quote]
