[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My guess is the score discrepancy involves suspicions about cheating/prepping. If your dc is part of a group that preps like crazy, his test scores get mentally downgraded by the committee because they assume prepping and the subjective pieces get more weight. If your dc is AA or hispanic or another group that FCPS would like more of in the AAP population, lower scores still get him in. Just my guess, don't shoot the messenger.[/quote] Names are removed from the files when the actual screeners read them. While I agree completely that screeners were instructed this year more than ever to look at "the whole package," I'm not sure they would have been able to discern ethnicity of applicant, barring some obvious reference such as pointing out that child is bilingual or a letter of recommendation from an ethnic school.
