[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do find the "ineligible" designations at Banneker a bit strange -- these are all kids who had interviews at Banneker, right? So that would indicate that they did a second screening post interviews based on composite score and the lottery only ran for everyone above a specific score threshold (with others deemed ineligible and thus not actually placed in the lottery for Banneker).

If that's what is happening, it would be useful to know at some point what the score threshold is and what scores kids got. This is a tough process and more transparency would be better, especially for families who may have very weak IB options and be contemplating moves or private as an alternative.

Also has anyone been deemed ineligible for Walls yet? Odd for that designation to be appearing for one school but not the other. McKinley's waitlist is likely small enough that they didn't have to do a cutoff, but I would presume that Walls and Banneker would have similar applicant numbers and similar cut offs for the lottery pool.[/quote]

It means they didn’t do as well in their interview and on-site essay. They don’t accept everyone that interviews (same as Walls), it’s part of the screening. [/quote]
