[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Could someone please explain the application process. For ex., what school year, who initiates the process (school or parent)?[/quote]. You must apply in 3rd grade by early November. It is entirely parent initiated. In some schools a teacher may suggest, but if not, no parent should assume they shouldn't apply. Kids who apply take a test in December and decisions are made by April. In addition to parent-filled application and essay, HGC testing, earlier 2nd grade global screening, and teacher recs are considered. Ther is no quota per school, but the process does try to spread admits out. There are useful MCPS parent info meetings held in the fall to explain the program and application process. There is program info on the MCPS website.[/quote]
