[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unless the alumni interviewer saw the files of every AZ BASIS grad (not just the ones who applied to her particular alma mater) she can't know the answer to this question.

OK, but an Ivy interviewer who talks to a good many top kids from both BASIS AZ campuses and serious STEM programs in this area (public and private) over a number of years can pick up on admissions trends.  [/quote]

+1  Also the interviewer said that each year for several years, there are 6 - 8 candidates that are interviewed from AZ most coming from BASIS of which none would be qualified in DC unless they were athletes, legacy or some other special reason.  The interviewer could at least talk to his/her knowledge of why this is the case, especially since BASIS does seem to have some track record of accomplishments (in academic awards, not just test scores and/or grades).  Of course it is possible that the Ivy interviewer did not necessarily talk with the most qualified but it would be hard to believe that this would have been the case over a long period of time.[/quote]
