[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son also got into CTY and didn't even get an interview at Banneker.  I suspect these two aren't the only ones.  [/quote]

They aren't. We know two others from post 7th grade CTY who got the "ineligible" email from Banneker after interviewing (indicating no WL number granted).

CTY rocks, logical admissions system, high and transparent bar to clear.

Banneker's system is alternate universe diabolical.  [/quote]

Because they offer a test that you can pay to prep for? [/quote]

Pay to take, too, right? No one offered my middle school student a free SAT. [/quote]

Poor thing! That must make standardized testing completely invalid![/quote]

No it’s invalid because rich people can game it. It’s like the TOEFL (English language exam that foreign students must take to study in the U.S.) exam that so many Asian grad students aced but then couldn’t speak any English so the department had to scramble to find replacement GTA for them. Standardized tests are rich people affirmative action. Let’s get rid of all affirmative action![/quote]
