[quote=Anonymous]McKinley Tech graduate here, when I attended there wasn't PARCC testing, however, a student still needed to be in the top percentile of their class, have no lower than a 3.0, write an essay for the application, write an on-demand essay the day of the interview and do well on the in-person interview. This was back in 2006. Times have not changed and will likely not change for the future.

I "majored" in biotechnology at McKinley and completed several internships with NIH. They had a pretty strong relationship with NIH (when I was a student), I am sure they have several other partnerships.

With the addition of the lottery to specialized high program applications its entirely possible, you and your DC didn't rank McKinley high enough or the application pool talent was pretty strong and thus he was lower ranked by the McKinley Review Committee. DH and I are now in MoCo now with our children but sometimes we pop into this forum to see how the DC high schools compare to the MD and VA HS process and rankings.

Perhaps try calling the school? [/quote]
