[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They said this when they talked about MS admissions. MS admissions used a similar SES grouping process. The whole goal of all these reforms was to get a diverse group admitted. There was some increase in URMs last year but overall they were disappointed in the results.

You can agree or disagree with this goal but it's just odd to deny that this is the target when MCPS has had countless meetings and commissioned reports and had different interest groups screaming at each other about this issue.

The goal was to make the make-up of the program more representative of the student body at large, not mere "diversity."  It's unfortunately become a crutch for every parent who isn't happy about the results for their kid.  Too many things changed last year to really know how much each particular change affected the chances for any particular student, but at least at the CES level, the impact of "cohort" seems marginal.  Someone smart enough with all the data could figure it out, I suspect, but that hasn't happened yet.  [/quote]
