Don't know if there are multiple waves at McKinley, but we were invited and interviewed there week before last, so some invites have definitely gone out.

Hi. Any insight if McKinley will be sending interview invites or if they have gone out already and we didn't get one?

This. My kid was in the 2nd round last year and got accepted. At last week's PTO meeting they said that they've had record #s apply this year, so they're definitely working their way through things it is just taking them a bit longer than normal.

Current parent and I stressed over not hearing from Banneker. They contacted us late. Don't give up.

The next interview date for Banneker is 1/25. It was an error earlier.

I think the 2nd Banneker interview day is February 25, not the 18th.
