It's not just moving from an exam to GPA, it's taking students above a GPA of 3.5 and entering them into a lottery. Scott seems concerned that incoming students will not be as high achieving, because they're chosen at random from a pool that's not very selective, and they won't be as interested in STEM, because the school will be using the SAT instead of their own more specific exam.
- eikenberry 6y agoIf that's the case then I agree completely. An application is absolutely necessary, otherwise you'll get a lot of kids there who don't want to be there. I also tend to think a basic interview or some other way of determining that it is the kid that wants to be there, not the parents who want the kids there.
