Might as well go ahead and answer now. You might skip the questions about total number of schools admitted / waitlisted / denied, since you don't know the totals yet. But for everything else, there's no reason not to enter it piecemeal. It's best though if you don't answer the same questions multiple times. So try to remember that you've already answered about grade, test scores, applicant characteristics, etc, and skip those questions when you come back later to add more school results. Otherwise it will make the numbers even more confusing.

Congratulations.

Weirdness is inevitable with this tool. The difference you note (10 responses for 8 kids) seems like it has to do with a people who chose to skip many of the substantive questions. Some just wanted get to the question at the end about what other schools should be added to the results list next year, and others perhaps just wanted to test-drive the survey form.

For the percentages, Google is clearly calculating them off some total number that I'm not easily spotting. It probably will become more clear as more responses mount up. Until then, I'd recommend ignoring the percentages Google calculates for each school, and just look at the raw numbers people are reporting. If this unfolds like last year, we all will soon see rough patterns. [ETA: I think Google is calculating percentages off the total number of responses to any part of the survey. If that's correct, the Google percentages will never make sense for what people here want them to do. Best to focus on raw numbers.]

Best luck to everyone today. May your mailboxes be clogged with fat envelopes.

SAM2 - there seems to be a bit of weirdness in the results so far. It shows 10 responses but only 8 kids. Also are the individual school results supposed to be calculating percentage based on total respondents or total respondents for that school?

Think about the admits:
30 - 3rd grade
30 (approx) - 4, 5 and 6
15 (give or take a few) 7
5 or 6 (maybe) 8th
15 or so - 9th

100 calls is a lot to make in one afternoon by a few staff members.

21:34, do you know for a fact? Miserable here.

Do not assume. Sometimes it takes a few days to get through the list. Do not worry.
