[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone have intel on when BASIS typically starts admitting students?  It looks like they have admitted a bunch before June 1 in prior years. [/quote]

Last year's data will likely be the most helpful, because they only started admitting for projected yield last year. Previously, they accepted the exact number of students for the seats, and then there would always be a lot coming off the WL. Last year they begain accepting more to account for total yield. Which is to say, there will likely be less movement overall.[/quote]

I think you might want to double check your "facts" here. For the 22-23 SY they opened 135 seats for 5th and admitted 135. That tracks with the size of the 21-22's 6th grade class (134) and is in fact less than the 21-22 5th grade class (143). The two years prior to that they admitted 135 for 5th grade.

There is nothing in this data that remotely suggests (i) they increased admittances to account for yield or (ii) they have changed the approach this year and last as against prior years.

What data source are you looking at? MSDC says they offered 150 seats in last year’s lottery, and OSSE says they had 129 5th graders on count day. That’s the data people were looking at when they decided BASIS had increased admittances for account for yield. Where did you get the 143 number from? OSSE also says BASIS had and 115 6th graders this year, but you say 134?

I do agree they only offered 135 seats this year, so maybe they decided over admittance was a failed experiment? Or maybe MSDC and OSSE are wrong and you have better data from some other source, but you can’t fault people for looking at the public data. [/quote]

They admitted 150 and 143 were on the enrollment data. [/quote]
