The top universities accept students who stand out for their peers or who show substantial academic progress. I’ve known high school drop outs who later got GEDs and then associate degrees who later got accepted into top universities or universities in general.
Or people who join the military and decided to use their GI benefits to pay for their degrees.
They do consider that--students also need to meet a certain threshold of ability and knowledge especially for more technical fields.
The path back from being a high school dropout to a top university is certainly possible for some, but it's much more difficult and the probabilities of it are much lower than having done well and learned things in high school from the beginning.
Yeah but it meandered a bit off track, didn't it.
Thought at times, it would get closed for sure.
Nahh we're not closing it unless it gets super wild. We'll let it run its natural course. Good honest discussion that needs to be had, and everybody is speaking real s--t
So carry on

What is DeBlasio doing to breakup the demographics of the high achieving majority white public high schools? These white progressive schools often rank higher than the SHSAT schools and have a more affluent student body, but DeBlasio for some reason only wants to attack Asian parents. What gives?

It's the $$$ and the power. It's easier to pit minorities against each other I guess.
Citywide choice--but some people have more choice than others. I'd love it if DeBlasio would get rid of district and borough priorities but hear nothing about it.

Easier target? Fewer political repercussions?
