[quote=Anonymous]It's a pretty lame article. It claims that this year's admission was based on "grades and interviews"....but ask any parent or kid who went through the process - the devil is in the details. Kids were given a score from 0-36. Grades counted for 5 points. You read that right. The remaining 31 of 36 points were based on one interview, which ranged from 3-10 minutes. So the school basically got to choose from the 500 they wanted because (basically) the ENTIRE admissions was the arbitrary and capricious decision of interviewers. Given this, it's even more galling that they weren't able to bring more kids in across all parts of the city...shame on Walls.[/quote]
