[quote=Anonymous]People are focusing on wait lists will forgetting that the drawn slots for actual spots at both Stokes and YY are completely random admission. So your poor impoverished single mom has an equal shot as your hooty, snooty parent from any where else. The waitlist is ordered by time of arrival. You could rail against it, but I personally think that in the scheme of things if you are looking to create diverse; integrated schools, the best way to do that is more widely market so that your initial applicant pull for the random drawing is diverse by income level. Before you argue that poor single moms are being turned away because of the wait list ordering, and ask how many are in the initial applicant pool to begin with. The self selection that goes on in application pools (deciding what schools to even apply for) happens way before the wait list is even a factor.[/quote]
