I assume to let students know if it is full or 1/2 .
No, so far just to invite them for interviews. My understanding is that the interview determines whether they'll give you the full or half. (No pressure, though!)

Where else did DC get accepted? How about his/her BK friends?

I've found with other schools that these numbers aren't super accurate...even if it was 30,000, 600 seems like a large number to interview, although I imagine some do turn it down.

I wonder if this means 150 offered or 150 students attending, which would mean more offered.
More offered. 150 kids attending.

Congratulations!
How many students will be selected?
~100
100 will get full scholarship and the rest will get partial tuition discount scholarship.
Is that correct?
About 150 kids are BK kids - 1/2 full, 1/2 partial. I don't know the exact numbers but I'd guess 250 + kids are invited to the interview. Keep in mind, if your kid is invited to the interview, kid is already a BK scholar. Interview will determine whether you get full or 1/2. Both categories are called BK Scholar
Is 150 a guess, or do you know this for sure?
