[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's why it would be so nice if people posted their scores after they get the results.  We could have an informal data base to help future generations figure out the system.  For what it's worth, my sense is that grades count less than scores/GBRS, but I'll leave that for 13:44, if s/he is still lurking.  Hope so, we could use some insider input about now![/quote]

Rather than trying to "figure out the black box", why doesn't someone file a Freedom of Information Request and get the written internal material on procedure, policy, etc. of the process?  This is no different than any other government agency and there is no "national security" reason for the selection process to be secret.  I am surprised that so many people (many of my friends included) would just assume that an arm of the government has the right to administer a publically funded program where the admission process is clouded in ambiguity.  Why isn't a PTA or other group representing parents overseeing the admission process?  Every applicant who is rejected should have the right to a debriefing and explanation as to why their child was not admitted (or have the right to review the internal scoring data on thier child against the pool of accepted averages/minimums).   The admissions committee should be able to demonstrate why a borderline child did not gain admittance and clearly show consistency in their evaluations.  [/quote]
