Below are excerpts from a survey developed by the four U.Va diversity consultants. These questions were mailed to eighth grade MLWGS applicants and their families.
INTRODUCTION
We have been asked to gather some information about the Maggie L. Walker Governor's School and your experiences in school. As I understand, you are in the process of applying to Maggie Walker. The questions I will be asking you are structured to better understand why some students, like you, have chosen to apply to Maggie Walker. This is not an evaluation of you, or your teachers, but it will give us information about ways we can make Maggie Walker a better place for students to learn.
We will hold all of your responses in complete confidence. I mean that no one will know what you said. I will not tell who said what to me. Any information you give us will be reported as a part of the total group information. Your responses will not impact your application process in any way, either positively or negatively.
Do you have any questions before I begin?
Tell me about your experiences during the application process to Maggie Walker. Has the application process been clear to you?
Tell me about your reasons for wishing to attend Maggie Walker.
Describe what your current school is like. What are the classes like? The teacher(s)? The other students?
What are the good parts of your current school program?
What are the parts that are not a fit for you?
How do you anticipate that attending school at Maggie Walker will differ from attending your current school?
Is there anything you would like to share with me about your reasons for applying to Maggie Walker, the application process, or your expectations of Maggie Walker that I have not asked about?
