[quote=Anonymous][quote]2. How do students test in? What are the criteria? I could not find them listed anywhere. [/quote]
OP here.  Thanks for the info.  I'm still wondering about admissions criteria.  The most info I could find is at this link http://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/uploadedFiles/curriculum/specialprograms/high/HSMagnetBrochureRichardMontgomery.pdf , which just says a little bit.  It seems applying 8th graders must be enrolled in Algebra 1, enrolled in the first level of a language class, and have enrolled in at least 2 honors classes at some point. Beyond that, it just says the committee looks at standardized test scores (the NCLB scores?), teacher recs, GPA, and "evidence of motivation."  Can someone in a BTDT position please help put some meat on those bones?  Do kids generally need to be in the top 5% of their class?  Or top 30%?  Need a B average?  Need to prove you watch Telemundo regularly to show motivation?  It all sounds very subjective, and while I'm sure there's room for the committee to make subjective decisions, I'd imagine there also are obvious patterns to an admission profile.  TIA.[/quote]
