[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids who are below 3.0 were sent a letter earlier this spring and were placed in remediation. I haven’t heard if those students will actually be sent back, though. [/quote]
Please take the student’s state of mind into consideration, imagine how his middle school peers might perceive or react to this situation.[/quote]
It is unjust and unethical to admit underprepared students solely [b]for the sake of diversity[/b], only to have them struggle academically with poor grades and endure the emotional burden of having to return to their base school.

It is unjust and unethical to assume that “non asian” is the ones who struggle academically and with poor grades, and need to return to base school ….. unless you can show proof.[/quote]DP

Selecting students based on an essay is just as likely to select an underprepared Asian as an underprepared URM or white student.  But the reason we are selecting underprepared students through the current process is because we wanted the diversity.

Any parent at feeder schools that is paying attention will tell you that the current process is selecting some students that are real head scratchers.  [/quote]

Having read this board for a long time I can tell you that there were people scratching their head at who was selected in the Quant Q era as well. Just because there are kids who scream "TJ" at many schools doesn't mean that those kids want to go to TJ. They might be saying they want to go but that could be because of parental pressure. There were ways in the Quant Q era to tell the admin team that you didn't want to go to TJ just like there are ways today. Not every high scoring MS wants to attend TJ and the smart ones used the tests to let that be known. Then they could blame the admission process and go to their base HS without getting in trouble with their parents.
