[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

This is not a fringe theory. This is how it works. You can disagree with this strategy for selection but it's ridiculous to deny this is happening. They have released data on CES acceptances and shockingly some CES kids who get in have very low national percentile scores.[/quote]

This is simply not true.  If it was you could provide the data that shows this.[/quote]

You people are impossible. Read the information MCPS puts out![/quote]

Provide a link to back up your allegations.[/quote]

I have seen the report but can't find it right now.  The thing is, they show the scores but not individually by child.  So there are some admitted students with low MAP scores, for example.  But you can't tell if that particular student who had low MAP score had a really high CoGAT score.  You can't tell if the students with low CoGAT scores had high MAP scores.  From the numbers they provide, you can see that some small number of admitted students had CoGAT scores below the 80th percentile nationwide.  But you can't tell if those students also had low MAP scores or if those students had 99% MAPs and something weird going on with the CoGAT.  Or vice versa.  At least, that was true of the data I saw that I can't find right now.  [/quote]
