[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I expect that percentile scores are national. And it looks as if many kids with 99% scores were rejected. So all that this establishes is that MCPS gifted programs are looking for the top .1% to .5% or so, not the top 1%. Maybe they should extend the percentile scores one more decimal point so we can see the difference between a national percentile score of 99.0% and 99.9%.

I think this is a much more logical explanation than some people's suggestions here that their 99%-scoring student was rejected because of diversity or because of their home school.[/quote]

Come on, even national 1% ought to be good enough for mcps magnet, we are talking about ~200 seats these two school combined. Obviously test scores are not the main factor for admission.[/quote]

Over 3000 kids took the test - and they were all identified as potentially right - so yes, test scores can be the main factor.  you are talking about a less than 10% chance of admission.[/quote]
