[quote=Anonymous]I think it will increase URM enrollment. I think there is a much better chance of having socioeconomic diversity at the school under the new proposal, which will make some kids more comfortable applying. I also feel like there's currently a perception (for the right or wrong of it) that TJ is full of kids who have been prepping for years and who continue to have tutors/Saturday school throughout high school. Many kids, even those who are hard workers, don't want to be in that environment. The lottery will help to get rid of that perception and more kids (of all races) might be comfortable applying. The new proposal will change the culture of the school and broaden the types of students it serves. That's good for some and bad for others. I don't think overall gifted URMs tend to apply to TJ under the current system and I don't know whether they'll apply under the new system. [/quote]
