[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Adding a Data Point

DD Accepted at Eastern but not Takoma 
comes from school with mixed SES (about half high, half low)

Scores
V-50
Q-41
NV-37

This correlates to the following age percentile rank V-97%, Q-94%, NV-87% Composite-95%  and was given the 8A profile. 
MCPS percentiles lower V-85%, Q-82%, NV-72%.

Straight A's in CES.  5's on PARCC (higher on reading than math)

Historically she's always had high 99th percentile on MAP-R, except the Fall 19 score was an outlier 97%  (lower absolute number  than spring 19), so might have just been a bad testing day and they took that into account.
Historical Range of 96-99th percentile on MAP-M. Fall 19 was 98th percentile.

I'm putting all this out there to help because it looks like they were looking at a lot of different factors and must have taken into account scores that seemed anomalous.

We didn't have DD prep, and all the super high scores posted here had me starting to regret that.  She said she found some of the questions just unfamiliar and weird, and I'm sure prepping might have helped increase those scores. Totally possible that prepping might have gotten her into Takoma, but might have also stressed her out.  These decisions are wicked hard to make.

I will say DD overall performance (grades, scores, etc) and acceptance profile (in at Eastern not Takoma) seems quite similar to her older sibling in 2014-2015, using the old application system.  I do remember that back then we were given the average (or possibly median, I can't quite remember) scores on those accepted to the program our child was not accepted into, which I thought was very informative.

Congrats! And thanks for those data points. My kid was wait listed for Eastern but got in to TPMS with similar scores. TPMS is a better fit so it’s fine but interesting to compare. Scores were:

V - 52
Q - 43
NV - 43

I do agree that they must look at a range of info.[/quote]
