[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since the selection pool was so much larger this year they were able to fill the 100 seats while applying even higher standards. The math is simple. [b] The top 2.5% of 4000 applicants is better than the top 16% of 600 applicants[/b]. [/quote] It’s true but there’s a serious case of sour grapes here. People are angry that admissions are more competitive and not as easily gamed. [/quote] Not true at all. If admittance was merit based they would stack rank whomever took the various tests and let in the top 100. As PPp alluded, let in the top. Instead they added a major sludge factor, took whomever they wanted, and aren’t releasing the admins’ test data or scores. Total black box. I absolutely feel bad for every single gifted kid shut out of a $3b budget, 200+ school, 500 sq mile, 10000s employee MCPS CES or magnet curriculum because it does not teach them to potential in math, English lit, science and humanities.[/quote]
