[quote=Anonymous]Different colleges sort and screen applications differently, but this held true in the admissions work I observed and did. Applications from seniors at schools in the DC Metro area were tossed into the same "digital basket." Within the basket, applicants competed against other applicants with comparable socioeconomic and racial profiles. So, yes, Asian low SES or Asian high SES applicants at TJ were competing with those at Wilson. I didn't observe breaks for attendance at DC public schools per se, though many local parents sound convinced that this is the case. Academically advanced low SES DC applicants without access to GT programming along the way are clearly disadvantaged in this game, because suburban municipalities provide the programming to their direct competitors.
