[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OK so what kid is not getting into these two popular application schools because they can’t just “win” via testing without having to interview well, get recommendations, or write an essay? And which kid is getting in who wouldn’t have because of the test? When I think about those marginal cases, I at least don’t favor the test. (Even though I am a nerdy test-kid, all grown up.)[/quote] And that's the irony. There are people who got to the point of interview and didn't make it on the waiting list. Test scores would be irrelevant by then. I truly think the bigger issue is supply and demand. I shudder to think of what would have happened if Macarthur hadn't recently opened and provided an additional option. My kid was probably the last to interview at both McKinley and Banneker and didn't meet the GPA cutoff for Walls (3.87). I wonder if DCPS read the tea leaves on enrollment trends or if it was coincidental.[/quote]
