[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd consider either school if my kid was interested in STEM, but he's more of a liberal arts type and not a fit for LMC at Duke. If he's screwed for Walls because of not weighting his almost-but-not-quite perfect 7th grade GPA, that's on them. He'd otherwise be a great student there and exactly the kind of kid who'd have gotten in every other year using the minimum GPA/test/interview process.

And for what it's worth, I fully support the changes other districts are making to increase equitable access to selective schools. I'd be completely behind a switch to making DCPS selective HS's lottery-only. But changing the rules of the road the day the lottery opens isn't fair and DCPS should have some kind of public process that gives families time to plan for admissions changes. [/quote]

This is a reaction to the pandemic, not necessarily Walls’ admissions process going forward.  This is a last minute change, but it’s for one year.  That doesn’t mean admissions will go back to exactly as they were, but this top 500 GPAs will not be the admissions past this year.[/quote]
