| Any idea if they are usually on target with the beginning of February, as stated in the meetings? |

| I'm curious just how competitive the math/science magnet is. My DD standardized tests put her in the 99th percentile in math but her reading is about 1 yr above grade level and she doesn't bring home straight As in grammer/spelling etc. We didn't apply to the HGC as she is happy and challenged where she is. I love the idea of letting her pursue her math/science interests in middle school. Do you think she stands a chance? |

| Last year, the first acceptances were received on February 9. The wait list and rejection letters were received a few days later. |

I think the writing and reading were easier than the math. Good luck to her. |

On the TPMS calendar they show an open house for invited families on 2/15: http://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/schools/takomaparkms/administration/calendar.aspx
So presumably they will have mailed the letters by then, with a few days to spare! This is consistent with an email that went out to magnet families maybe a month ago, asking for food donations for the teachers who were going to spend a marathon session going over decisions. |
