[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]yk ppl can lie abt experience factors? Just say u have 1-2 and bam free admission… it’s all based on “equality” so the real smart kids who take like algebra two in 8th and don’t have experience factors get disqualified. Thats the golden ticket. [/quote]

No they cannot. You have to register for FARMs and you have to have an IEP. Both are easily verified. I suspect that they will know if your race somehow or another changes in 8th grade. The only time there was a FARMs loophole was the first year because the County was providing free meals to all students, due to COVID, so people who would not have qualified for FARMs said they were receiving free meals. I believe admissions walked that back that year and tried to correct that mistake during that admission cycle.

The experience factors are there to give a bump to that kid with LDs or ADHD or who is less likely to have support at home because their parents didn't graduate HS and has worked harder to have a high GPA and take Algebra 1 or Geometry Honors as well as the 2 other Honors classes that they had to have. They might not be in Algebra 2 but they have demonstrated a different type of resilience and perseverance to do well in school and be in a place to apply.

You might not get that but anyone who has had an IEP and worked with resource teachers to learn how they learn gets it. And most people are impressed by the kid who is an A student in honors classes and ahead in math when they have parents who can't help them with their homework. Their path to applying, never mind admission, is far harder than my kid without any learning issues who participates in math competition classes and math competitions because we can afford it. I am sorry that you don't understand that. [/quote]
