MS Magnet letters are starting to arrive

Whether it is automated or done manually (can't believe it would all be done manually) I would expect letters to be done alphabetically since that is what most programs use, it's easier to go back and find a missing letter or answer an inquiry with an alphabetical list.

My last name begins with a Z, we are always the last to get anything!

Our name begins w/ A and we haven't heard anything yet. And we live close to both schools. Frustrating!

I've had 3 kids in HGC, MS magnet & HS Magnet- it's Always acceptances one day, rejections 1 or 2 days after

We received our rejection yesterday - Saturday.

You know not of what you speak, expert.

Should be if your child got in....

Conversely, if they were rejected, were the scores below the median?

No, I mean SCAT. SCAT is the math portion of the test (it will say SCAT on the letter).

Median scores are the median of those accepted right? Not median of everyone taking test, right?

Interesting. The Roberto Clemente letter said "Math". I have only seen the acronym "SCAT" (School and College Ability Test) used on the JHU CTY testing.

Wonder if there is any similarity between the Math on MS Magnet and the Math on the John Hopkins University - Center for Talented Youth SCAT exam?
