[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it 1.5% of all 8th graders in a school, or 1.5% of all 8th graders qualified to apply for TJ? Why was this so sloppily drafted?[/quote] I thought it was 1.5% of the 8th graders at that school. I’m confused if 1.5% of that school’s grade will be offered a spot or 1.5% will be reserved spots. So if a school has 400 8th graders, 1.5% would be 12 students. Would that school have 12 seats so if 6 of the top 12 students don’t want to go to TJ, would the next top 6 kids be offered a spot?[/quote] 1.5% of 400 is 6, not 12. I don’t think they clearly spelled out the answer to your other question. I read the language of the approved motion to mean the top 6 applicants at the school so applied and were evaluated under the holistic review approach would be offered seats, but maybe they have a set number of reserved seats in mind. The 1.5% set-aside was new and the exact mechanics weren’t discussed in prior reports. [/quote]
