[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I stand corrected on Hardy - I wrote MSDC and this was there response:

Hello,
Yes, the numbers, albeit larger than usual, are correct. They offered fewer seats in the lottery this year and this may have been why they then had to make more offers than usual.
 
Let us know if you need further assistance or call the My School DC Hotline at 202-888-6336, from Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
 
Best,

This is the explanation. Last year they offered 25 6th grade seats and this year only 2. Looks like they were expecting more inbound families to attend this year (not sure why with loss of JR feed) and they had the same amount of inbound actually enroll as last year.

It’s reasonable to believe it took them ~100 offers to fill the remaining ~23 seats after June. Late in the summer waitlists moves fast and some people are not ready to pivot that quickly or able to respond quickly to an offer that is good for a week or less.

If they had offered the same 25 seats this year I bet they would have had similar august offer numbers as last year.[/quote]
