Yes, Spring 2018 MCPS changed the CES and magnet acceptance process in 2 ways.
1) A child does not formally apply, write essays or show interest. Now 4000+ are automatically put in the applicant pool. 
2) The factors for selecting admitted students also changed. Out with student essay, a teacher recommendation and heavily weighting grades and test scores. Replaced with a new factor, "peer cohort" where if your deemed an outlier (somehow, no data provided) relative to your school (not pool of potential admits), you get some juicy bonus points.

[b]Basically it is at discretion of MCPS who to admit whilst they craft their statistically diverse group of CES and magnet admits.[/b] [/quote]

Yes, it is now at the discretion of MCPS, whereas previously it was: at the discretion of MCPS.

And, of course, more diverse because the new method is more inclusive. Race is not a criterion nor is that legal, but apparently some angry tiger moms would like people to believe otherwise so they keep saying it despite a lack of any evidence to support this.[/quote]
