[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The general trend is that if the MS has an SO team, then it absolutely benefits your child to be on the team. However, having the privilege available to join a team gives an unfair advantage against kids who live in pyramids where there is no opportunity to join an ademic team due primarily to socioeconomics. As such, the "local" comparison at the individual MS level process kicks in where the applicant is compared to other kids who had the chance to join SO. Very similar to how universities base admissions against an applicant's classmates at their HS and not against other high schools.[/quote] It's a double-edged sword since it's difficult to distinguish the outliers at those middle schools that lack these opportunities too.
