I don't think people are reacting to the chances, but rather (1) that there were any spots at all and (2) the fact that 10+ kids are leaving each year belies the DCUM narrative of the greatest school since sliced bread.

They likely had a very strict screening process, so only the ones that were screened successfully were offered an available spot. So, likely the odds are lower than they appear.

How can it be that there were 10+ 10th grade slots and 10+ 11th grade slots? Walls is by DCUM accounts a magical place where no one leaves and everyone is happy and BASIS kids flee to?

And DCUM is a place where every DCPS/DCPCS thread ends up being about BASIS.

Which is odd since only a few kids went from BASIS to Walls last year.

Yeah. Can't believe that Walls gave everyone on the waitlist for 11th grade a slot, even though they had no 11th grade slots.

That is not what the data says. The data says that they made 10 offers. They could have offered 1 slot to #1-9 and they all turned it down and #10 accepted it.

You are overanalyzing. I didn't say that 10 people accepted a slot. I said that they gave everyone a slot. I someone received a slot, obviously he or she could turn it down.

Because most of the info on DCUM is pure BS. Maybe a quarter is actual useful....

+1 Shocked to see there are any kids admitted in 10th, let alone a dozen or so.

No.

24 applied for 10 seats. 11 given offers, 10 accepted.

Last year about 20 kids applied and 15 were given spots I believe.

Has anyone had luck with 10th grade admission? I know a few students leave each year.
