[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, didn’t meant to hit enter above. I think the real issue is that because of COVID, some OOB kids got into PK4 last year, which hadn’t been true the year before… so this year, there were only a handful of new IB Kers (new families only vs didn’t get into PK4) and they may have overestimated new IB interest when setting the initial targets.[/quote]

I get what you are saying but that would not effect waitlist movement, only the initial lottery results. So yes, that might mean that some OOB families might have gotten spots in the lottery when in previous years they might not of (because those spots would be offered to IB families, of which there would normally be more because of people who'd gotten locked out of PK).

But waitlist movement can only be attributed to (1) people who got lottery spots choosing to turn them down or go elsewhere, or (2) already enrolled kids leaving. They didn't change the number of slots available for K between March and June, so that's can't be why the waitlist was moving fast in June. [/quote]
