[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Go on merit and how students perform on the tests. I have seen some brilliant poor students and really dumb rich kids. Merit and nothing else. Ooops! If you go only by merit and performance what will happen to non-Asian-Americans? Oh no!!![/quote] I would have no problem at all with that if the tests are kept under wraps and significantly changed on a yearly basis, such that prepping isn't quite as large of an advantage as it currently is. Likewise, I'd love to see the Young Scholars program be significantly strengthened, with free enrichment activities, summer camps, and some amount of general test prep given to URM and/or less wealthy students. I think both of these ideas would promote diversity, discourage extreme prepping, and still maintain TJ quality. [/quote]
