[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well it is our first choice and now I'm even more anxious hearing that they have 400 applicants! What will stand out? My DC didn't do well on SSAT (Terrible). Great grades though. Does do sports and loves the arts. We looked at 6 schools for HS and this was the one we ALL liked. Finally we all agree on something : )[/quote]

1.  400 applicants sounds high, to be honest, but they do have international students and perhaps they are getting a boomlet of foreign applications to bolster applications from area students.
2.  55 spots is just one part of the equation -- what's the yield?  If they have 50% yield (which would be a reasonable guess), that means admitting 110 applicants.  1 in 4 chances (assuming the 400 number is correct) is a lot better than 1 in 7.

Try not to stress too much -- sounds like you have a great kid.  I'd bet your DC has a very solid chance of admission.[/quote]

50% yield seems high.....does bullis publish this stat?[/quote]
