The (magnet) elementary school I attended used a lottery to select among the top X% of applicants. It did not "tarnish the pedigree of the school" or anything like that.
There is already a lottery to select which students among the thousands who apply will be offered admission. It's just not uniformly random.
- TheLoneAdmin 8y agoYou can't compare the reputation of a local elementary school versus Harvard.
- notyourday 8y agoThere are pre-schools in NYC that have tuition comparable to the Harvard ones.
- notfromhere 8y agoThe only thing it'll tarnish is Harvard's reputation for accepting the children of the elite.
