[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These data are great, but they don't tell you how far down the list they went. Some people may have gotten into a higher-ranked school and dropped off of the other waitlists. So, e.g., it shows that Hearst only made 4 offers from their waitlist for PK4 last year, but they surely went beyond spot 4 -- I know someone in the top 4 initially who got into a better ranked school and was then removed from the Hearst waitlist, so they never got a call.[/quote]

You can look at the original post round 1 waitlist and make some educated guesses as to who got the offers. True, it doesn't account for people who got off the list of a school they ranked higher prior to the offer from the school in question, but you can at least see if the offers went beyond siblings, IB ECE kids etc.[/quote]

Agree, but I would prefer to know the original waitlist # of the person admitted than the # of offers they made. [/quote]

I think they are probably considering # of offers and waitlist #s as one and the same thing. That's what I got from the "how to use this table explanation:

"Let’s say you have received your lottery results and your student is Waitlist #10 for 2nd Grade at Achievement Prep PCS.  You can use the filters to select Achievement Prep PCS and 2nd Grade to see that Achievement Prep PCS made 18 offers by June for school year 15-16. While this does not mean you will definitely receive an offer for this year, you can see that someone with Waitlist #10 last year did receive an offer"[/quote]
