[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, and there are quotas[/quote] You would be able to sue them and win millions in court if this were true. It is completely illegal in the US for public school to use race as an admission criteria.[/quote] Yes, the information the admission committee gets is stripped of surname, race, or other identifying information. They get basic things like gender and whether the student qualifies for free lunch or is ESOL in addition to their grades and test scores.[/quote] Yeah, but the back door for this is that Young Scholar status is still in the application. Young Scholars is not purely race based, but generally, kids are invited if they are URMs, lower income, or perceived to be disadvantaged in some way. The selection panel knows that if they admit a Young Scholar, the kid is more likely to be a URM than a kid who is not an identified Young Scholar. [/quote]
