[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They care about scores, grades and the essay in that order.

Also it's still not a lottery, PP.[/quote]

They also care about race and gender.  I doubt they care much about the essay.  [/quote]

They don’t get any info about race. It is 100 per cent race blind.

What a weird assertion. MCPS has all the race data on its current students. It doesn't need it on the application.[/quote]

Race isn't reflected on the application, which means that the evaluators don't see it. Of course, at the high school level, students might be involved in activities that would reflect their race, or they might talk about it in their essay. Basically, there's no lottery for high school, and no credible allegations that race is taken into account during the admissions process, so maybe we should keep the focus on the OP's question, which is about the essay. As of this past school year, the essay was two short sections on prizes/activities/competitions/service and one longer essay on what a kid was passionate about. [/quote]
