[quote=Anonymous]I'm 17:52. One of my kids is in the TPMS magnet currently, and for DC's year (2-3 years ago, I don't want to identify us too much) we were told there were 100 kids on the wait list.  We heard the same story when we looked into moving DC's older sibling into the magnet in 7th grade a few years back. The head of the magnet program took us a tour and told us that older DC could take the magnet test and might possibly (depending on how older DC did on the test) be put in the waitlist pool, but the chances of being picked out of the pool of 100 kids, supposing a 7th grade opening even came up, were slim to zero.

The huge waitlist pool size is probably related to the number of qualified kids in Montgomery County, and the relatively small number of slots the county makes available for them. But that's another issue.

We also know somebody who got into the Blair magnet after moving from out of state. So there's a compelling story that worked for the HS magnet. I don't know all of the family's circumstances, just that they were out of state.[/quote]
