  • Wow, Calhoun only got 50% of students to enroll with them who were offered a seat there? Is that typical of all schools?

    • Not at all. Calhoun is a 3rd/4th tier school. Many of the people who applied may have used it as a "safety"

      • np-Imho, that "can''t" be a correct figure. There are too many people looking for spots for there to only be a 50% yield--never heard of a private with such a low yield. If it's true, then the admissions office is doing a poor job.

        • nnp. OP's number sounds about right to me. I don't believe that means they have a 50% yield. As I understand it the yield is determined by how many dc they have to take from the WL to fill the incoming class. If the school knows a lot of families will turn them down they compensate by over-accepting many dc so don't have to take as many from the WL.

    • Where did you get this statistic? By the way, everyone I have met who knows him raves about the Calhoun head. He was very articulate in the cable TV show on kindergarten admission.

    • How would you know that? If it were true, I'm sure they wouldn't make it public information. When we applied it seemed like they really wanted to know that you wanted them (we got a hint to send a fc letter when we applied- we didn't - didn't feel it was right for dc anyway...and we were wled)

    • I would believe this is the case at preschool level, but definitely not for K. They only had a handful of spots anyway.

    • Not surprising !! The lady running admission seemed totally incompetent. So did the other people we met on our tour (such as the director of the lower school).

    • BS. Where did you get that from? Complete made up nonsense.
