[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To fill their 140 9th grade seats they have always gone pretty far in the wait list -- in 2016 they eventually went to #48, in 2015 they went to #64. The year or two before that they went to 100+.

Just depends on how many students accept the slots they are offered.  [/quote]

Re last year-not true-this year's WL numbers offered space were into the 100's and into the summer.[/quote]

So does SWW manage its own list outside of MSDC? Because your information doesn't square with what is released publicly (48 offers to people on WL as of 10/1)?

https://public.tableau.com/profile/aaron2446#!/vizhome/MSDCSeatsandWaitlistOfferData/MSDCPublicDisplay[/quotlike I said, I met a girl Saturday who is a freshman this year and whose # was in the 100s. It is quite possible that those on the WL removed themselves before being offered a seat, etc, but why would she lie about her number being inthe triple digits?[/quote]

Good question. I try not to try and explain the behavior of 14 year olds in general.  :)

Here's what we know -- they interviewed 250 kids last year, and 140 got offers initially. So the highest the wait list ever could have been was 110. Even if we believe MSDC (and not the freshman girl) about half of the wait list was eventually offered a seat. Not bad odds.

Some people on the wait list likely declined. So the WL number of the 140th person could to be offered and accept a spot may be been in the 100s.[/quote]
