[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've always thought of magnets as NEGATIVES for college admission. Colleges compare you with others at the same school. No university wants to admit 50-100 from the same school, no matter how good the school. Yes, more magnet kids get in to top schools, but that's because magnets have the best and brightest students in the county. If their admissions procedures are at all reasonable (and I think they are), then I would expect almost ALL magnet kids who apply to top colleges to get in. That doesn't happen. [/quote] OP here. Yes, agree. And yes, I realize that being in a magnet should be about the student needing that challenge, but for college admissions, it's clear being in a magnet can work against a high achieving student at a magnet.[/quote]
