[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to their CES website to see what OP is talking about and am surprised that indeed they did not post criteria yet for 24–25. They are likely playing around with desired outcomes with and without cogat, among other factors.

I think they should include cogat and restrict ELC students to only those who meet the criteria for the lottery. Otherwise the curriculum is too watered down. Also tighten up the MAP criteria to the top 5%. [/quote]

If a better ability-related metric, CogAT or other, was used as the principal testing tool, the locally normed 85th percentile in MAP would end up being much more appropriate, narrowing a bit the high-ability cohort identified (which, itself, then could be considerably less than top 15%, given the more direct measure) by providing something of an academic progress touchstone while mitigating to some degree an outside-exposure-related gaming of the system to which a top-5% MAP RIT score is more prone.  Ideally, there would be some sliding scale heuristic between the two, with greater emphasis on the ability-related metric.

Also, more magnet seats or more reasonably equivalent local options -- there are many who might benefit from enrichment with rigor, not just the highest of high fliers of the moment.  With individual development trajectories being far from straight-line, we should be looking to be inclusive over long periods of time, as outlier status will vary to a degree.[/quote]
