<p>At our school it seems like they take all the kids with like a B+ or better and then pick from them based on citizenship, scholarship, etc. It does seem like favoritism plays into it, they skip a lot of the kids taking the toughest classes. The school doesn’t rank and they really don’t say the criteria so some kids who were left out are upset. Here’s another link I just found that talks about it. It does seem like most schools go by rank or gpa or weighted gpa which seems the most fair.</p>
