[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Could be lack of STEM activities. It seems to me that they are really looking for Science Olympiad, Mathcounts, etc. There are definitely more than 500 kids with all As, plenty of whom are in Alg II. But such high scores also, I don't know. The test is relatively new but it is bizarre that those scores wouldn't be high enough. [/quote]

My sophomore did zero stem activities.  He wrote his essays about his interest in history and about the sport he played.  So I don't think they are looking for Sceince Olympiad.  They have plenty of those kids and most of that activity is parent driven, not something the child has signed himself up for.  Like any school they need all kinds of interests and kids.  Not everyone can be in the biology club.  they also need some lacrosse players.

That being said, all of the kids my DS has known on the wait list eventually got accepted.  Maybe they were the most qualified or maybe the WL is small.  So if its what your child wants then accept the spot.

The school went through a big renovation and so the target population of the school now is 2000 vs 1800 perviously.  So it makes sense that they accepted close to 500.  In the sophomore class their have already been about 20 kids who have left since freshman year.[/quote]

DC is freshman, friends on WL did not get accepted and were very disappointed. [/quote]
