[quote=Anonymous]I don't know how they group students when they initially distribute them to the committee members, whether it's done by school or SES group or completely randomly. But they do not start with a grid. It's computerized and each committee member is given a set of students to rate. Totally guessing on the numbers but if there are about 20 members and each one is paired with another each person looks at about 50 students to start. Let's assume the pile they get is completely random which I think is more fair. In the initial pass they are looking at everyone individually. I do not believe there is any grid at this point. By the time they get to the full committee review I think the ES and MS matter and it would make sense to have a grid or list. The ES to make sure there's representation throughout the 80 schools in the catchment area. The MS for cohort.[/quote]
