[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]McKinley Tech kind of surprised me.  [/quote]

In what way?  That they have no waitlist?  (really curious what you mean - have my eye on it but not sure it'll be a good enough school in the timeframe we need.  [/quote]

That they matched fewer kids this year than last year.  Not sure what that means.[/quote]

It means two things: there are only so many students who applied, met the admissions criteria (4 or 5 on PARCC and 3.0 GPA) who did not rank another school higher.

If you apply and are deemed ‘admitted’ by more than one application school or another high school (eg. Bard) you will only be matched to your top choice. You fall off all other wait lists. Enough students do this and a school will be underenrolled because they won’t waterdown the standards.

There is one more selective admissions program this year —  Coolidge early college - and Bard was also popular. Kids applied to McKinley but it wasn’t enough students’ first choice.[/quote]
