[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is very selective. Issues like race, gender are taken into account and weighted quite heavily from what I have observed and heard anecdotally. Is this the general impression?[/quote] That hasn't been my impression; it seems to me that the more diverse the comprehensive program, the less diverse HGC/magnet program. For example, Drew's student population is predominately black/Latino yet the HGC program at Drew is predominantly white/Asian (and it's rare for a Drew K-3 student to apply and be selected to move into the HGC program for Grades 4 and 5). So to the extent race is a factor in the HGC admission process, I think it is used to add diversity to the existing school population (i.e., to make student population "lighter" or "darker" depending on the location).
