[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]is there any parent contacted the admission office to ask whether they verified the free lunch information?[/quote]

I did.  Over email.

A FOIA needs to happen on this issue.  At some middle school, I would not be shocked to learn that ONLY kids that answered yes were admitted. If you said No,  you never had a chance.

Hear me out.  Take Longfellow, an AAP Center with traditionally up to 200 applicants. There were only 19 seats in the 1.5% set aside. (More could have been admitted from the general pool).  If you assume 4.0s for 100 of those applicants and decent essays,  admissions will only be possible for those with the 90 points extra for Free Meals.  Special Education is so much smaller that it doesn’t even begin to help.

I would not be shocked if every last admitted applicant at Carson and Longfellow said yes to free meals.  This is the main problem.  Admission was contingent upon having a parent that was willing to read the questions literally and say Yea.
