[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My wait list letter said they had 6200 kids apply and something like 576 spots.  They are celebrating the fact that they had so many more kids apply this year.  Excellent, I guess. It it just means you're rejecting more 3rd graders who are interested in being challenged further!  What in the world??

This should not be  like college applications.  MCPS should be trying to accommodate ALL of these kids - most likely all very hard working and bright and motivated.  [/quote]

You didn't even have to apply this year.  The selection process changed radically AFTER people had already started submitting applications. On March 9th, my child's teacher told me that this was the first year that teachers were not asked to provide recommendations. Without applying, I have a child on the wait list.  It's bizarre.[/quote]

THis happened with my friend's kid!  Her daughter doesn't do great with change so she did not even want to have her apply.  Ends up it's at a school where they test all kids this year.  Kid is on the wait list.  [/quote]
