[quote=Anonymous]If a STEM school is publicly funded, you would probably want the admission process to select students most likely to make a contribution in STEM fields. You would want some social benefit to accrue from that publically financed science education.. Bronx Science, for example has a number of alums who are Nobel Laureates. They are all, however, 50s and 60s grads. James Madison High in Brooklyn, a non selective public school, also has a number of Laureate alums. Thomas Jefferson has a number of founders of tech startups as alums, but how many grads really contribute in the sciences? [/quote]
