[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wait-list is moving.  One of the stronger students at our school just got in[/quote]

Which school?[/quote]

Lake Braddock.  800 kids in 8th grade, and only 12 were admitted.  I am summing someone must have declined.  An Alg 2 student, 4.0, just got in off of WL.  t
The initial offers seemed (based on hearsay ) to go to Alg 1 students.[/quote]

All the affirmative actions admits must be getting scared and declining. More decline, stronger the class would be and fewer getting kicked out or leaving.[/quote]

Affirmative Action would have been better than what they did here, which was basically give preferred admissions to less advanced kids.  It seems they wanted to deny admissions to the advanced URMs (kids with 4.0 and Geom) just so they can have a method that would guarantee "success" in the total numbers of URMs and FARM[/quote]

Where is your data to support preferred admissions for alg 1 students?[/quote]

It is anecdotal so far.  If you read through the various threads here, you'll see Alg 2 and Geom kids on WL while Alg1 kids get in.  You xN be in denial all you want.  The admissions this year had nothing to do with the essays or problem solving.  They found a way of increasing URM and FARM admissions without looking at the race of specific applicants.  Basically, by screwing all of the advanced kids, including including URMs.

I'm sure the detailed data will have to be released soon enough.  Braband replacement will just put the blame on the predecessor [/quote]

Will be VERY surprised if the number of students beginning in Geometry this year is more than about 30%.

This sounds more like the opening of the five stages of grief.[/quote]
