Our waitpool approach differs fundamentally from a traditional waitlist. Instead of simply ranking students based on the order of their applications, we focus on creating a diverse and balanced group of qualified candidates. This method allows us to consider a range of factors, including academic strengths, social dynamics, and connections to the CLA community.
By using a waitpool, we can thoughtfully compose a student body that will thrive within our unique curriculum and school culture. This approach enables us to select students who are not only academically qualified but also likely to contribute to and benefit from the diverse learning environment we strive to maintain.
Our goal is to ensure that each admitted student has the potential to succeed and positively impact our school community, rather than adhering strictly to a first-come, first-served basis. This holistic evaluation process helps us maintain a vibrant, diverse, and academically strong student body that aligns with CLA's mission and values
