[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All we know for sure is that as of right now there are 149 enrolled.  I imagine they plan to keep class at regular size - 150ish.  But at this point, they will only go to the waitlist if/when kids unenroll over the summer/before school starts to go elsewhere.  They also probably keep a spot or two open for people who move to DC before school starts - those kids are also eligible (if they have the grades) to interview and be offered a spot/placed on waitlist depending on their rubric score (grades plus interview).

Walls is probably always at this "fully enrolled" point at this time of year (June), and then typically by the end of August will have made another 15ish waitlist offers (as currently (as of June) enrolled kids unenroll to go elsewhere).  So if things follow the typical course, another 15-20 on the waitlist will be offered a spot by count day in October.

I know of at least one kid who enrolled at Walls but likely won't go (will stay at current school); if I know one, I'm sure there are several others like this as well, and I imagine this is always the case when you are dealing with a group of 150 humans.  [/quote]
I know a kid who enrolled at Walls and also at a private school. They plan to go to the private school, but have yet to decline their spot at Walls.

Also, it’s my understanding that the kids who were offered spots at Walls and wanted to attend the in-person tour had to enroll at Walls as a prerequisite. It seems likely at least several of these kids will end up making a different choice, opening up more spots at Walls.[/quote]
