I found online registration and the drop down and status and it says there are currently no active submissions.

Mine shows “submitted”. Make sure to use the account the application was submitted from."

Hello fellow DCUM parents!

My son was getting horrifically stressed out over how well his application was, so he kept wanting me to look over it, though I'm not a professional.

Do poolesville SMCS and GE look at previous map-scores too? My son was constantly worried his drop from 300 in 7th grade map m spring to 289 map winter 8th will make his application look bad.


This is his essay:

I see the world through the lens of my camera, and the pen strokes in my notebook. Ever since I was young, I had a passion for the natural world, from the vivid colors of the tropics to the muted shades of the poles. My mom brought me books from the library, which gave me a window to a wider world, bigger, even, than the windows of my bedroom. They told me stories of faraway lands, and about the fundamental truths about our universe, all in pieces of bonded-together paper. Those books laid a foundation for who I wanted to be: a scientist.


Science is a very broad subject, maybe even too broad to be quantified, but it’s the key to understanding the workings of our universe, and what makes us tick. They can teach us life and nature, and quarks and photons. They can even tell us why we ask questions, and why they don’t get answered.


A scientist needs to maintain a healthy mix of curiosity and skepticism throughout their research. Every detail in our world is deceiving and waiting to be examined. Nothing can be trusted without careful observation. The scientist is similar to a trapeze artist in this manner, always hanging on the edge between intelligence and madness, a quality needed to gain an understanding of science. And once you finally understand it, the feeling is indescribable.

My goal is to give that feeling, that understanding of science, to the world.




Thank you to all of you who took your time to give me advice on what I can tell him to make him feel better.

P.s. I'm not trying to be an egoistical parent, but if I come across that way, apologies in advance.


Thanks!

Two years ago results came out on Feb 2. Although they came out earlier last year, apparently, maybe that was an anomaly.

I’m not going to comment on the essay but my son had a drop in his MAP scores. The year he applied, they said they would take the higher if the last two tests. You might want to call and double check if that’s still the case.

Not trying to be snarky but seriously why does any of this matter now? Applications have been submitted and evaluation and decisions are underway. Nothing to do now but wait. Try to focus on something else.

Tell him that a bright person can learn from anyone, anywhere, so he can choose to thrive at any high school.

289 is already "off the chart" where the exact value of the scores don't matter anymore.

The essay is nice although it is generic amd doesn't and really say anything about the applicant's personality. It reads a bit like he was trying impress someone he's intimidated by, not introducing himself to a new friend/colleague. It's a better magazine column than a *personal* statement, IMO.

The achievements/awards/ECs part of the app is more relevant, but please don't post it, because it doesn't matter here. What's done is done;! go take a walk in the warming weather and enjoy the approach of spring.

To be clear, does the result get sent to "Online Registration" in the one parent/guardian account that applied, or "Documents" for ALL PARENTS/GUARDIANS of the child, like MAP reports and report cards?

It appears in documents. You’ll also start getting emails before it posts on ParentVue from the programs your kid applied to. To both your email and theirs. From the programs welcoming you if your kid is successful. I believe you may also get a note from them if unsuccessful but I don’t have experience of that. The emails all came in quick succession for my kid. The ParentVue document with official results came a few hours later.

HS applications were done on a parent/guardian account.

Course Requests for specific classes at non-application schools (and I guess also at application schools, later) is done on the student account.

Thanks for your advice! I'm extremely sorry if I come across as snarky or rude, or even a "troll", but I genuinely have no idea about what Maryland's systems are like. We recently immigrated from a certain southeast Asian country to figure out this country's new opportunities. Apologies to everyone in the forum who think I'm trying to poke fun at American parents. Things in India were done a little more difficultly, so to speak.

I heard it was a bit of a scandal when the emails went out during the school day before the parentvue published.
