They certainly didn’t think that when they spent time, money and effort applying over the period of months.
Answer the question, please.
They would have probably not made it with a lottery system anyway. What is your point? 17 Blacks are projected to be admitted in expectation with the lottery. If you know any statistics, it means there is a good chance less than 6 are admitted. Especially, if other people apply more. 17 is based on all qualified people applying. Are you implying they would be happier and more likely to accept with greater White proportion? Because that is more likely than not to happen. Law of large numbers and many many more Whites in the qualified pool.
Answer the question, please.
Zero. And who knows why? What is your point?

That’s a good point actually. They certainly thought it would be welcoming when they spent all that time applying to it. I know a kid who declined to attend a prestigious DC private school. I’m now wondering about these kids - probably private school kids too, but I guess we’ll never know.

Scott Branrand is not qualified for his position and he messed up so many things, school closure/opening, distance learning, TJ admission reform etc... Hopefully, the School Board won’t renew his contract next year.

Right now return to school should be the number #1 priority. This is ridiculous

With lottery can be fewer than that. Again, it is random. Put ten black balls and 90 blue balls in a bag. Pick 10 at random. You are not guaranteed even 1 black ball.

The truly deserving blacks have very little chance to get in.
They will get in if they are qualified.
To be honest, the very qualified black or hispanic students will probably be coming from region1 or 2 because they have benefited from the better schools. But with the lottery, they might not get a spot since they will be fighting for one of the 70 seats with all the other qualified white or asian students.
This is where the "holistic review" comes in. Someone in the admission committee will make sure that these URM kids will get in the lottery pool and have a better chance of being selected. They never fully explain whether in the lottery is really random.
So you mean they aren't going to bring out one of those gigantic lottery wheels and hire Vanna White pull numbers out of it randomly. Wonder if they would live stream the drawing like PowerBall.
After no Blacks are picked, what will they do? Go back to the old system? Say that the first round was a practice round?

There is a chance that they might not. That is the problem with a lottery. It is random.
