African American and Latino. During the 1999-2000 academic year, for instance, 801 students were enrolled in Gateway Programs or small schools, 60% of whom were African American and 25% Latino; 62% were female. Students in the program had significantly higher Biology AP scores, SAT scores, graduation rates, and college acceptance rates than national means. As of 2005, over 100 graduates are attending medical school or already practicing medicine. Later developments In 1997, the project received a Sloan Public Service Award from the Fund for the City of New York. More recently, the program has inspired the development of similar programs in other districts. Other Gateway programs In 2005, Howard Hiatt, former Dean of Harvard's School of Public Health, backed a proposal to roll out a Gateway program in Boston. The program would involve 50 students in Roxbury's John D. O'Bryant School of Mathematics & Science. The proposal is to take effect in April 2007.
