[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parent of a HS junior who is now terrified. Student has a 34 ACT and 4.3 WGPA, will have 10 APs total, so far all 5s on those taken in 9th and 10th. Sounds like all the schools he thought were targets are actually reaches, what he thought were safetys are now targets, and I cannot imagine what actual safetys will be because he will be rejected for yield protection. It is not entitlement, but there should be some expectation that if you do this, then you will get I into that (isn't that the rubric they've been taught in MCPS from day one?!?) [/quote] But if this is true, then all other kids who are in the same boat are getting into those "safeties". The fact is that just like the Flynn effect on IQ scores, there has been a ballooning at the top. This will cause a societal understanding that there is a bigger basket of really good schools.[/quote]
