[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mr. Rottman told my kid that recommendations aren’t due from DCPS teachers until today (2/8), so I don’t think the schools even have the applications yet. [/quote]

Walls doesn't even require any interview or personal essay before they pull names out of the hat[/quote]

You mean they don’t require any recommendations, they do require an interview.[/quote]

They do but it's hard to take them seriously at this point. Seems more like a popularity contest if a kid gets an interview...[/quote]

This is nonsense.  Interviews are based on a GPA cutoff.  You can claim interviews are a ‘popularity contest’ (which still sounds ridiculous when adults are interviewing 8th graders but whatever).  You can’t claim getting an interview isn’t quantitatively based.[/quote]

Has Walls changed its policy? Last year the high-stakes admissions interviews were conducted and scored by high school students.[/quote]

Last year when there was even more rampant grade inflation, was there even a real thing as gpa? Even this year if a kid submits an assignment with their name on it, the lowest they can score is a 63. If an assignment isn’t submitted at all, it’s scored as a 50. [/quote]
