[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Absolutely no chance for Spanish or Chinese at DCI.  French is the only way to possibly get in if you are lucky as a non-feeder.[/quote]

Spanish made 12 offers in 6th and 9th. Chinese made 20 offers in 9th. I realize it will get harder as the feeders increase in size, but not impossible this year. [/quote]

PP above.  My post was pertaining to middle school for 6th grade.

Those Spanish offers went to feeder kids who were on the waitlist.  Not non-feeder kids[/quote]

How do you know?[/quote]

Because feeder kids on the waitlist get preference. If you look at the individual schools breakdown, you will see a few kids on the waitlist[/quote]

I'm confused-- I see the waitlisted feeder kids receiving offers within their own DCI feeders category on the Tableau site. Wouldn't it be double-counting to show them receiving offers under their feeder category and then also in the non-feeder?

Also, I don't see a preference category in the non-feeder drop-down menu for feeder graduates. So how does it work exactly?[/quote]

It is not double counted.  There is the general waitlist for everyone.

The individual school lists shows you how many seats for each school and if they have kids waitlisted.

Then the feeder waitlisted kids gets whatever seats are left that any feeder kids decline.

People just accept the fact that if you at a non-feeder you are not going to get in the Spanish track and have plan B.  Makes like a lot easier to plan. [/quote]

But how do feeder kids have a preference in the general waitlist if it's not listed as a preference category in the table? I don't disagree with your conclusion but it seems like you can't explain how it fits with the data display.[/quote]

Certain schools are allotted a specific number of seats at DCI. Some dont use all their seats. So every kid from those schools automatically gets in. They don’t have to bother with the waitlist.[/quote]
