The interview for application schools by students sounds a recipe for social descrimination. Imagine a student showing up obese with buck teeth and pimples. Adults are better able to see past these things than kids

Stage 1: 3.0 check
Stage 2: Walls academic test
Stage 3: Interview
They have more students who interview than slots. So...how is admission determined? How is the waitlist ordered?--since they do go deep into the waitlist each year this is important.
Is it lottery? Is it some kind of scoring rubric on the interview?
No one ever answers these questions.
I wonder, are there any families at all out there whose child passed the academic test, had an interview nut was NOT offered a slot? What were you told about the process for ordering the waitlist?
Yes. Only told it was about 'fit' and not random or via lottery.
SWW usually goes about 60 deep on its wait list, so most who get on the list will eventually be given a slot.
