[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are an underrepresented group, you have a significant leg-up in the selection criteria.   They try to have a healthy mix of experiences and backgrounds otherwise you get a group of students who are basically all the same and don't really challenge each other in enough ways.[/quote]

That's actually against the law and if they did that they would be sued.[/quote]

Yes, it's fiction that some parents like to repeat. Apparently, it makes them feel better to blame others for their own failings despite a lack of evidence.[/quote]

New Poster here.  I am not sure if it's against the law to admit students that might have disadvantages into the program for a wider representation.

That said, I have heard that mcps wants more diversity from three different admin people (on the higher ups in ES) mentioned this to me in passing.

It’s possible they wish the program were more diverse but isn’t race a protected class. Consequently the selection committee does not know a candidates race, name or gender.  As the earlier poster said, these  rumors are fiction. [/quote]
