[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TPMS sent an email to current magnet parents a few weeks ago asking for food for teachers who were going into a marathon session reviewing applications.

The email mentioned they had [b]700 applicants this year for 100 slots[/b]. I don't know if the number got revised once all the envelopes were all opened, but it seems to be something like that. [/quote]

I think that's right (and the number may even be higher), but as I understand it, they eliminate right off the bat the kids with test scores below a certain cutoff, and then work from the remaining pool (whatever that is).  I imagine this becomes a very hard task since there are likely more than 100 kids in the remaining pool with scores sufficiently high - but there just aren't enough spots.  Consequently many qualified kids are rejected.

My child was admitted and I am grateful for that, but I feel sad for those kids out there who could succeed in the program but who for whatever reason were rejected.[/quote]
