[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The thing I wonder about is how you can figure out the impacts of new programs on capacity anyway if you don't know which schools the kids applying will be from? It works fine if you assume an equal number applying from each school, but if you assume that and then some schools send many fewer kids than others, they will end up more crowded and the schools that send more kids will have lower enrollment.[/quote] This is a problemm. I could see them doing a per-school reserve (with seats opening to others if there are not enough applications), but that would be ability-related-need inequitable. Better might be to have admissions heuristics that adjust for relative inequity of prior experience/exposure, but their previously adopted paradigms (e.g., locally normed MAP) have, thus far, been more hammers than scalpels, and, again, even distribution is not a guarantee.[/quote]
