[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The scores for many of the kids rejected this year seem really out of whack. They are really high. Not to stir the pot but the subjectiveness of the new admissions process has me suspicious. Are your kids Asian? [/quote]

What about simply that for an HGC like Cold Spring the average was higher compared to other areas and the bar was really high for students to get in. In other words, not enough seats to accept all the kids on scores alone. [/quote]

But on this thread there are a lot of kids with high scores that were not accepted and kids with low scores that were accepted. No one has responded which is interesting. Makes me kind of wonder if those accepted with lower scores are URMs or white to make the racial balance more representative of that cluster.[/quote]

Well for Cold Spring the percentage of URM students in the feeder pool is less than 10% so I would argue that there will not be an increase in diversity in that cluster.  [/quote]
