[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]

That’s the whole problem with using essays to select students.  They are selecting students who have writing skills, but not necessarily STEM schools.  At Cooper some of the math counts/science Olympiad students in Honors Algebra II were waitlisted, while a student in Algebra I without any stem club experience was admitted.  [/quote]
