[quote=Anonymous]I copied this for you OP from a different post:

It appears that the bountiful of offerings of all kind of wonderful career oriented 
magnets that MCPS offers is is not a common knowledge. Perhaps because they are relatively 
new, or perhaps that they are not widely advertised. It is possible that outside of MCPS 
parents, people do not realize the many great options that are offered every year at 
more schools. MD Public School forum on DCUM, it is a place where the magnet 
topic is well known and well discussed usually by parents who are considering the 
options and want to learn more form those who have chosen those paths.

Here is an example of one of High Schools that have application-only (no testing required) 
magnet programs. Wheaton High:

Wheaton High School Application-only Programs

Engineering 
The Engineering Application-Only Program provides a cohort of highly motivated students with a rigorous math, science, and engineering sequence of courses. Students will experience hands-on and project based activities that promote the development of critical thinking skills. Students will become familiar with and explore multiple fields of engineering including aerospace, mechanical, civil, and electrical. Through the use of the engineering design process, students will create their own inventions or innovations to solve real world problems.

Biomedical 
The Biomedical Application-Only Program provides a cohort of highly motivated students with a rigorous math, science, and medicine sequence of courses. Through a hands-on and collaborative approach, students will explore prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disease in order to design innovative solutions for 21st century health challenges. Through the use of data acquisition software, students will monitor body functions such as muscle movement, reflex, voluntary action, and respiration.

And below are few more.. you can research more about them on MCPS site directly:

Bottom line is, there are a LOT of different magnet offerings that are housed in different 
High Schools and MCPS is expanding the concept to new schools. The good thing about 
them is that the catchment area for the magnet is always beyond the school boundaries, 
be it the whole county, half of it or more less a quarter.
