[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Latin II just dropped by 5 more spots. [/quote]

4 more. [/quote]

Wow, people are dropping out by the bushel.[/quote]

You should track the Walls HS list - we were mid 40s and already got in [/quote]

Yeah, almost no one from Basis is going.  Sound like lots of others are saying no too.

Shame they dropped the admissions test.[/quote]

Could be. Could also be nothing more than DCUM doing what DCUM does and seeing everything through the prism of their own preconception. Looking at the historical WL data Walls they have made at least 50 WL offers by June in every reported year. [/quote]

Sure but that doesn't refute the point that fewer Basis or Latin kids are going.  There are a lot of schools in DC other than Basis and Latin, so WL movement this year could well be in line with previous years.  Plus, typically Basis and Latin kids tended to do well on the admissions test, which is now gone.  As a result, it is easier to get in from worse schools with grade inflation.  So, in fact, Walls could become harder to get in at the same time that the academic level of the admitted kids decreases.[/quote]
