[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would twice as many kids apply?  I am surprised by that.  My DD knows very few kids who applied. [/quote]

More importantly - isn't it wonderful that more kids have applied? That finally more kids have been informed and excited about the participation in the programs? More kids from lower income brackets responded? That more parents who can not afford private schools can enjoy the benefits?

You should celebrate not dwell on searching for some negatives. Everyone should apply as many kids have so much potential and never try for programs that they would thrive in. Lots of economically disadvantaged kids have brilliant minds and were lost in the process and now they are not. Do you have problem with that?[/quote]

I think all kids should get a chance. And even though there are relatively higher %age of the population of  Asian-American kids who get into good programs, a vast majority of brilliant Asian-American kids from poorer homes do not try or even know about these programs. I am happy that all of these kids will also be in the applicant pool. [/quote]
