[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Correct me if I'm wrong, but Walls administered their own test, so students didn't know how they did before applying. Thus, the change in the test wouldn't, in itself make students more likely to apply.[/quote] Dropping the test made it easier to apply, because you didn’t need to show up somewhere one morning to take a test. The year my kid applied, if you were in DCPS they already had your transcript, so all you had to do to apply was add the school to your lottery list. If you were already applying or lotterying for 11 or fewer high schools, it was trivial to add Walls to the list, just to see. My kid’s GPA was way too low, but it was so easy to apply that we did it anyway. Probably would not have if we’d needed to get teacher recommendations (and I see applications went down when they added that requirement).[/quote]
