[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Getting in the pool is easy, but the top kids rarely get picked these days." - what do you mean the "top kids rarely get picked" it's a lottery, so once the kid is in the pool, they have as much chance as any other kid in the same pool. Granted if the pool is watered down, there is more competition, but my original point stands.[/quote] Yes, it's a lottery of the top 15% and another 15% that are added to that to cover exceptions. Even if you ignore the second group a 99% student would have a 1 in 15 chance to get picked. With the old system the 99% would get picked almost every time. The top kids are rarely selected these days. I think it was a good program but they may as well cancel it.[/quote]
