Young Scholars is:

Designed to identify and nurture students with high academic potential who may face additional barriers to access and success in Advanced Academic Programs (AAP) and courses. This may include students who are the first in their family to attend college in the U.S., English language learners, students who are economically disadvantaged, and students who are twice exceptional.

Looks like it's mentoring and counseling since they suspect parents can't take care of the need of the child's advanced academy needs?  [/quote]

It's basically limited to blacks and Hispanics.[/quote]

Wouldn't this be unconstitutional under the Harvard/UNC case?[/quote]

Lot of what public schools are doing is unconstitutional, and each case is dealt separately.  Harvard/UNC case outcome can be used as basis for making future case arguments.  If there is enough public support to call it out, YS might end up in court.  Separately,  TJ admissions racial balancing case is currently on Supreme Court docket.  [/quote]
