[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well the other way that high school is distinctly different is that for application schools it isn’t random, so a bad result feels not only disappointing but also like a negative judgement. [/quote] Nope. Walls is a lottery basically. They are no longer taking the brightest kid. So that’s that, not much different.[/quote] Well no. Latin's 9th grade seats are a lottery (with sibling preference). Walls is a lottery amongst those who meet the threshold criteria and complete the application process. So it is partly a performance judgment.[/quote] OK but the threshold is subjective (recommendations) and there is rampant grade inflation (grades) so it is not clear just how good that “performance” really is. Also PP above said bad result which implies that the kid applied and didn’t get in. So at this point, it is a lottery.[/quote]
