What struck me as the oddest part of the proposal is that the private schools are going to “volunteer” to put public school students’ transcripts into this sort of gibberish. How exactly would that work?!!! It suggests that the students could be “evaluated” by someone from a private school who has never met them. Given the categories, I don’t see how this is possible.

Agreed. Also, how will they account for the inherent biases considering they have a strong interest in promoting their own students whose families are mostly full pay as opposed to public school students who may be competing against them for elite/respectable college places.
