[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Median is median for admitted students. [/quote]

How do you know?  Did someone in GT admissions tell you this or is this an assumption?   Generally curios.[/quote]

Not PP - but our decision letter also stated that the median scores listed in the letter are the median scores among students accepted to the program.

One thing I was less sure about was whether these scores were the median scores for students accepted to our particular center or for the entire county

Our child was WL - had one score well above median, one right at median and one below median.  This is total speculation - but my guess is that WL consists of students that were not accepted that had least one score above median.  Done that way in order to "appease" parents of rejected children.  Who knows?

I'd be curious to hear of others' results on things like
1) anyone with DC accepted with just 1 score above median (or no scores above median?)
2) anyone with WL DC have all 3 below median?

I think the test is heavily weighted in this process.  [/quote]

It's the median for your center, not county wide.  In years past, people have posted the medians from their center and some were definitely higher than others.  [/quote]
