[quote=Anonymous]Hi all  -

I know the chances that my child will get admitted are slim - and he'll be fine at neighborhood school, but he wants to apply so I support that.  He really enjoys science and math and does well in them and has high test scores - his COGAT from 5th grade was 99% for quantitative - but only 92 and 88 for verbal/nonverbal.  I believe his verbal would drastically improve and likely his nonverbal would improve somewhat as well should he take now, but that's neither here nor there.  From what I've seen of his writing, however, I am concerned that he's going to have problems on the essay.  How much emphasis is placed on the essay?  Is it really to get an idea of the kid or is it to gauge their writing ability?  For CAP and RMIB, I know that they do pay close attention to the essays because of the heavy emphasis on writing in both those programs - but is this true for STEM as well?  Even if test scores/grades are high?  I know that all the kids applying are brilliant, but I am just trying to figure this out.[/quote]
