[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You guys got me all freaked out about this. I should know to NEVER rely on DCUM for advice or to trust what I read.

Here’s my reality check with real scores:

Cogat National 99V, 98Q, 99NV
Cogat MCPS, 96V, 93Q, 95NV
MAP math 240s, MAP reading 230s
All As
High 5 on PARCC math, high 4 on PARCC ELA

Recommended for TPMS, wait pool at Eastern

School with moderate poverty rate. No prepping for tests.[/quote]

That's great for your child. And there are a lot of kids with much higher scores who did not get in. Mine got 99% across the board, ([b]though the Quant was 92% for MCPS[/b]) high 5 on PARCC, 99% MAP, all A's, etc, etc. and was in the CES. We did no test prep (had no idea people actually prepped their 10 year old's for this stuff, but should have known better!).  I knew from seeing comments last year with very high scorers not getting in that acceptance was pretty unlikely, and made sure to prepare my kid for that possibility. He did not get in to either TPMS or Eastern. Just because this isn't your experience, doesn't mean other people are lying. [/quote]

Then 1) you didn’t get 99 percent across the board and 2) your kid’s score was lower than mine. I think the thing here is that people exaggerate their scores by saying things like “99 percent across the board” when they mean 92% quant.[/quote]
