[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]CES no longer takes the top 2-3%.  They take the kids who don't have a high scoring cohort at their home school.  That means some 99% kids stay at their home school while some 92% kids at a different school get the CES invite.  There are many threads discussing this, here just trying to get correct current info to OP.[/quote]

There's no evidence to support this fringe theory. It is mostly embraced by people who resent changes like universal screening because it grew the application pool and made admission much more difficult.[/quote]

Even if you were to buy this sob story excuses about admissions, the reality is the schools that make up 90% of the CES groups are homogeneous so there's little variance within the cohorts. However, when there is a variance within the groupings many parents believe that some schools are much better than others and are often willing to pay hundreds of thousands more so their kids can attend the better school so it seems to me the cohort changes merely offset this difference which seems fair.[/quote]
