[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m very surprised at the high MAP M scores posted without being offered a place on SMCS. Is it possible that your essays showed that ecology was a better fit/didn’t show a strong preference for STEM?[/quote]

I would like to think so. DD certainly did not show strong preference for SMCS in her essay, but neither showed a strong preference for Global. She has excellent ECS. 
That makes us feel like it was purely score based and certainly essay or ecs did not play a role in the SMCS decision (like they originally mentioned), unless someone less than her score (278) got invited for SMCS.

[b]OP here. Last year, the Blair admissions officer said the median MAP-M score for accepted students was 273[/b]. That means 50 out of 100 students got in with a score below 273. So, I think things like the essay and extracurriculars also play a big role in admissions.

My kid’s MAP-M score is over 290. His essay is all about his love for insects and animals, and for extracurriculars, he wrote about how he’s been really involved with the nature center.😂

i think median is going to go at least 10 points up this year.[/quote]
