[quote=Anonymous]All this conjecture is just that. The essays, while not part of your test score, also counts. The humanities teacher that interviewed us said that after the interview and before the lottery, the teachers in her department read all those essays and also decide based on that-you don't want a kid that can test well, but cannot write a two-paragraph essay.

Finally, someone said that they offered sets to 48 people on the waitlist. That is both true and false. While 48 people may have received seats at Walls off the waiting list, they let in students with waitlist numbers in the 100's-I don't know if the higher numbers turned them down or pulled themselves off the waitlist altogether, but we spoke to some freshmen, one of whom had a number in the 100's (think it was 120) and was stressing into the summer until she was offered a seat. Another girl was in the low 20's, and got a seat within the first few weeks. They were all gregarious, articulate and engaged kids that did in fact want to be there, some from privates, others charters and publics from all over the city. [/quote]
