[quote=Anonymous]I'm unclear on how reliably MCPS uses the terms "home" and "base" in their literature.

Does anyone know what happens in the flowchart if:
- a Northwood-base kid 
- with a 1st-choice Einstein DCC ("home"?) assignment 
- accepts an MC2 magnet seat 
- then later decides not to complete the full Middle College program?

[b]Do they stay at Northwood or go to Einstein?[/b]

My kid is on the fence between the Einstein IB and Northwood APs, but we aren't convinced MC2 is the best fit. (It could be, but the coordinator trying to sell it as "easier than APs" didn't help.) If he decides on MC2 and winds up in 11th or 12th wanting to stay with Northwood's APs instead, is he totally screwed? (i.e., does he get shuffled back to Einstein, split off from his friends and now unprepared for the diploma program?)

I personally have no qualms about either school, but he's having trouble settling into a decision, and we don't understand enough about the MC2 coursework particulars. (Or maybe he won't get offered a seat and there's no choice! But I figure we better be prepared for the quick turnaround.)

TIA![/quote]
