[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who they did enroll this year is more mediocre white students. I know smart kids who got in but also straight B students who don't care about school and who would have never made the top 250 kids in a typical year. Then some of the highest achievers at Deal did not get in because for whatever reason their 2 minute interview did not stand out. [/quote] +1000 I have no dog in this fight but I know many of these Deal kids. I think highly of Perry Stein but she should dig further into the Walls process to see what when on. A "36 points" system is laughable on face value ( how on earth did they come up with this weighting system to begin with, not to mention figure out how to apportion 31 points during a 3-10 minute interview and norm it across different interviewers)...and not even try to give weight to geographic diversity.
