[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Banneker does not let you know (like Walls does) that you were not eligible for an interview.  They will just let you know in April that you didn’t get in.

All the drama over SWW but Banneker is the worst! If you are going on qualifications, how does a kid get at least an interview at SWW but not at Banneker? SWW is GPA based so I get that(regardless of how I feel about the process). Admissions is not guaranteed anywhere but to not even interview a kid is BS. The so called holistic process is a game to keep the Title I designation and money. Sounds awful but that appears to be what they are doing.

If you don't get any notification from Banneker by the lottery change deadline, 3/15, reorder your list! Don't screw yourself...[/quote]

SWW and Banneker might be looking at different things in the recs. And Banneker also has the online essay to take into account, which SWW does not. Therefore, the kid may look different to each school. DUH! Also, your assumption that a kid who got an invite to SWW should automatically get one to Banneker is gross—your assumption is that SWW is sooooo much better, so if THEY have a kid an interview, of course Banneker should. WTH. Also, your comment about title 1 OUT OF LINE. First of all, Banneker has worked its butt off to become the school they are—with families who don’t have money to pay for teams of tutors. They deserve all the accolades they have, and YOU clearly don’t belong there. You think all the hard work that administrators, teachers, and kids put into generating the excellence at Banneker means all they care about is MONEY? And news flash: they don’t know your salary, or my salary, or ANYONE’S salary who applies. What the hell is wrong with you? As a prospective parent of Banneker, I’m so glad you might not be there. The way you came on here with that racist BS is vile. [/quote]

DP.  I have no idea why you are so riled up.

It’s a well known fact that Banneker favors and takes black kids from underserved communities.

You don’t need to know families salaries.  It’s pretty safe to know from the middle school the kids are coming from what the SES level likely is of the family. [/quote]
