[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think many of you are over thinking. It’s just a high school program. They understand many middle schoolers are not exposed to computer science or math/science competitions. I also don’t think they care much about the essay. As long as the applicant doesn’t write hating math or science, I doubt the essay will make any difference. [/quote]

In that case, I’ll ask again, what does make a difference? They literally have only MAP M and the most recent math and science grades, plus the essay. Given that many kids will have high MAP-m scores and As in geometry and science, what is differentiating kids if it’s not the essay?[/quote]

I guess not that many people know with certainty but based on what I've read over the years, I think those things matter. [/quote]

What things matter? Are you the same person who said the essay went make any difference? I’m assuming the essay is pretty important. It’s really the only way to differentiate yourself.[/quote]

With only 250 words its not that important.[/quote]
