[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Latin 2nd initial waitlist: 501, 429 last year, 343 2 years ago.  Basis initial waitlist:  290 this year, 235 last year, and 188 2 years ago.  I think thats trending more students/more difficult.  Based on 5th grade results, 6th grade lottery next year at least looking like it might be somewhat more difficult than this year too.[/quote]

More applicants, yes, but they've moved further through the waitlists as well, so the overall chances of getting in have been about the same.

I think the BASIS numbers bear out your point, but not the Latin numbers. Between '22 and '24, they took +10 (and in the interim year, took -15); between '22 and '24, the number of applicants grew by 100. How does that not indicate that it's harder to get in? This year, the WL grew by 70ish more in one year alone... [/quote]
