[quote=Anonymous]Ok, here's how I understand OP, and it goes point to unconscious bias that has come up on this topics discussion- Looks like OP is not saying his/her DC is super smart. Or W kids are smarter or non w kids are not smart or there is any desperation to get DC in to magnet or W kids are underrepresented in magnet. The point raised is that why there should be equal distribution from each school for magnet as it should be totally merit based. Second, after the equal distribution or so , say there is one slot and committee has two equally good applications- one from w school student and other non-w student, OPs point is that committee would lean on selecting non-w kid with that unconscious bias that w kid's home school is anyway a good high school program. And this is proved through numerous comments posted on this topic by the posters. So there is unconscious bias towards w kids if there are equal competitors from non w schools. [/quote]
