[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MAP-R scores in themselves are harder to evaluate. There aren’t the sky high scores like MAP-M. So, I think they look at MAP-M too. [/quote]

RMIB does not look at MAP-M.

Seems like there is a lot of speculation based solely on MAP-R scores but it's clear on MCPS' website that they consider multiple measures including grades, the application (essay and short answers) and student services (e.g., IEP, 504).  So you can't make any assumptions based solely on MAP-R or MAP-R plus grades (assuming all As).  Also, while the process is race-neutral, it doesn't say it's gender-neutral so there's that.  In any event, information from your friends or your friends' parents as to who did or didn't get in and their MAP scores is fairly useless.

From MCPS:

25. What data was used to evaluate my child?
The review process uses a multiple measures approach that includes both district-level and external measures. The data included: the student applicant responses, Grade 7 final and Grade 8 MP1 report cards, student services^, and MAP-M (math/science programs) and MAP-R (humanities based programs).  The process for the review is race-neutral, name and school blind. 
^ services such as receiving special education services, ELD- English Language Development, 504 accommodations plan and Free and Reduced Meals
