[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid goes to one of the magnets and the only money we spent on outside enrichment was that she ordered herself a $7 cogat test off of Amazon so that she could do a sample test before the test day. Maybe Blairs is different. [/quote] There was recently an uproar in VA when one of several well-known prep centers listed the names of 30% of the students admitted to TJ as its alumni. It's a safe bet that over half those who are being admitted to the MCPS magnets also use these places and most of those are from more affluent areas. This makes it so that those who don't ante up have a slim chance. Further, those same areas also have higher-rated schools which also confers an advantage. This isn't about ability. It's all about opportunity.[/quote] Everyone knows that if you want a shot at these programs you need to take these classes. In all but a few rare cases it's the only way to access these opportunities. [/quote]
