[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Probably because they don't want a situation where a host school has no kids in the actual program creating a "town vs. gown" type of situation where the host community resents the privileged selected few. It makes sense to me.[/quote] This only happens when the host school is behind in that certain subject. If host school is already those resourceful schools, this gives them a further inequitable share. Let's think of it in a positive way: the set-aside also sets the upper limit for the host school to not let the program become their own local program. Does it make it sound better? [/quote] No, because there was no commitment that host school students would not also be applicants for the seats that are not set aside.[/quote]
