[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MY kid's 5th grade BASIS number dropped by 40 spots today (started low 100s)[/quote]

That tracks. They had 110 after enrollment ended and they want to get to 135. Historical yield rates say admitting another 40 should get them close. They did the same think last year; front loaded offers and filled virtually the whole class by June and then didn't really work the WL at all.[/quote]

Let's see.. so this year they had 150 match and 188 on the waitlist. Total of 338 applicants. And now 190 have received an offer, which is 56% of applicants and it's not even the end of May. I think it's maybe running slightly harder to get in than last year, but pretty close, time will tell.

Last year they had 135 match and 155 on the waitlist. Total of 290 applicants. By the June data date, they had made 50 offers. So 185/290=64%.[/quote]

They made 3 more offers after the 50 last year.  So, 65% if you go to the August data.

Assuming 25/40 accept now (they only have 135 seats), that would be 190/338 or 56%.  Maybe they would have to make a few more offers (taking it up to 57% or so) but, still, it looks like they are significantly harder to get into than last year.[/quote]
