| How's this for dicotomy: I live upcounty - didn't even know my kid took the test (thought you had to register like I did with my older kid years ago). Definitely wouldn't let her take a bus to another school. Waitlisted with 56% mcps /89% national. |

This seems a little weird.

| It's consistent with Cold Spring being ultra competitive with a lot of 99th percentilers. |

With universal screening, does it mean someone will receive a letter with scores in single digit (e.g. 5% National, 1% MCPS)?
That one is really hurting..... Can someone from DCUM post this if they receive scores like these? |

No universal screening, only a portion of potentially high scorers took the test. |

You have to keep in mind that CoGAT score is not the only basis of acceptance to the CES. |

Notified today. Waitlisted. Is everyone that doesn’t get in waitlisted? |

No, although last year there was a mistake and wait-list letters were sent out to all rejected families. I can't recall, however, if that was for CES or middle school magnets. |

| Did anyone receive rejections today? Also, are there any similarities - like last name is A or Z? I hate the USPS wild card factor. |
