The current admissions system based on SES zones and bonus points excludes many kids with A grades and high test scores, especially those from Catholic schools like yours. If we are going to stick with that system then increasing the number of seats seems like the right thing to do to me.

If this happens, this policy change will prevent discoveries and will result in our children and grandchildren being sicker and dying sooner

If doing CNV calling the default bin size in GATK gCNV for Illumina data is 1kb. I’d look at the histogram and MAD of 1kb bin depths. If its not tight or your regions of interest contain lots of repetitive sequence 5 or 10kb might work (with less resolution)

Not window size based, but we often use metrics like “Percent bases at 20X coverage” to QC WGS data for variant calling.

I'm sort of skeptical that that's the case at selective schools, which in my experience liked well-rounded applicants, but maybe things have changed.

Genuine question -- why not just push for rigorous college-prep level high school humanities classes then? I confess I do not get the appeal of Early College as currently presented. Seems like quasi-vocational "career-track" stuff instead of a chance to actually explore college-level classes early.
