[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They said, "Criteria-based application programs my use multiple measured for admissions. These could include school performance data, a scored essay, and report card grades." (this is around minute 27 on the video)

The [url=https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Fme3A_qXyT_VdXSH2D5KJ0eUEpHLK5naMMSgLmO4BFU/edit?usp=sharing]FAQ[/url] says, "The admission process for criteria-based programs uses a multiple measures approach that includes both district-level and externally-developed assessment of students. The data that will be considered include the student applicant responses, report card, student services, and an external assessment."

So the FAQ says there is an external assessment, but it's not clear whether that means CogAT, as in past years, or MAP scores.  The meeting didn't clarify this.[/quote]

My kid went through the process last year, and they didn’t include “external assessment” in the language, only something like “school-based assessments,” meaning tests like MAP and PARCC that everyone takes in school. I think it’s safe to assume “external assessment” means cogat or similar. [/quote]
