The geographic distribution was the best part of the new admissions plan.  The experience factors should certainly be left out.  [/quote]

It is very good in theory.  In practice, the non-AAP students are having a difficult time.  They are in the same classes with high performing students who can do the work.  What do you think is the result?[/quote]

There are AAP students in every pyramid.  Presumably, most of the gifted math and science students were in AAP.  There are probably some that weren't, they should be able to succeed at TJ.  (Not surprising that some are having a difficult time, after the last two years.  This year is hardly representative of anything.  [/quote]

MVHS doesn't have middle school AAP in its pyramid. [/quote]

Students from underrepresented schools were given bonus points to tip their application in favor of other students.  So a Gen Ed student from such a school that is not as qualified would get in ahead of a higher performing AAP Cooper student for example.  [/quote]

This is one of the items in the process that I had a major problem with, even as a vocal pro-reform advocate. It didn't make sense for them to add an additional "underrepresented schools" experience factor given that they were already using the 1.5% rule to allocate the top positions in the pool.[/quote]
