[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both Latins and BASIS cleared (or within 1, cleared) their EA lists. I would like to hear from those people on DCUM who complained that the paltry # of EA seats offered by those schools was proof that they weren't serious about supporting at risk populations. Seems like maybe those schools knew more about their admitted and projected demos than DCUM whiners who like to sit in the corner and throw stones from the cheap seats.  [/quote]

Why don't you fill us in on why BASIS has so few at-risk kids then. Since it is awesome.[/quote]

They don't apply because that's not what they're looking for. Just like UMC kids don't apply to KIPP schools. It doesn't mean there's anything wrong with either model. [/quote]

Oooh you said the quiet part loud! At-risk kids just don't like BASIS. Oke doke.[/quote]

NP. They didn't say that. The [b]DATA SAID THAT[/b]. [/quote]

No, the data said there aren't very many. You made up the reason.[/quote]

Do you think they filled out the form incorrectly?[/quote]
Personally, I think there are likely a variety of factors. I would not assert that BASIS isn't what they are looking for, in general and whatever that actually means. And the point is, even if that's true, it's not something BASIS likes to say aloud [/quote]

There are systematic differences by at-risk status in terms of the types of schools that families apply to in the lottery. If no one says that out loud, perhaps it's because it's so obvious from the data as to go without saying. [/quote]
