Increase the slots from 12 to around 50. The # of students is ~80,000 and even assuming 200 students per school, we still have 400 choices. Let us have atleast 50 slots to be filled. (I once went through a similar admission procedure with 100 slots)<br />2. Make it mandatory to fill in all 50 slots for the application to be considered valid.<br />3. Publish all available information about last three years admissions - the cutoffs for various schools in various subjects, neighborhood preferences, etc.<br />4. All selection / rejection criteria that the schools have for the current year should be made publicMayureshnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4748060798655400108.post-86490441880156366782011-05-07T17:57:07.573-07:002011-05-07T17:57:07.573-07:00Addendum to "use all 12 choices": slot 1...Addendum to "use all 12 choices": slot 12 should be a slot you are very sure will take you, and slot 11 should go to a school for which you aren't quite as sure, but for which it would be a genuine surprise if they didn't take you. I would also shift a little bit of the blame (though there's plenty to go around) that you place on guidance counselors to the schools and the school district; if a school doesn't accept students outside a geographical area, that information should be easily available to students and parents, not just the priesthood.dWjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12072494989829344049noreply@blogger.com
