[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Taylor specifically said they would not turn away students and that they would not be operating with a scarcity model. Plus, he said there are no caps on seats.

So it sounded like admissions was pretty much going to be an open door and no one would be rejected.[/quote]

This is like when they say they are providing transportation. It isn’t actually the full true story. They can’t have unlimited seats for these programs.

The question is about criteria. I actually have no problem if they have as many seats as they need to accommodate all applicants who are as qualified and prepared as the current program students. The issue is when they have so much room or maybe not so much interest that they lower the criteria. Which is how you end up with underperforming programs, like some of the regional IB programs.

They are providing transportation from regional hubs but you still have to get your child there and pick them up and there is no transportation to those hubs.  It's also an issue for sports, band, and after-school activities where no transportation is provided.[/quote]
