[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a friend who does admissions for a highly competitive program (not CES).  She said that they really don’t have enough funds for all the candidates who could benefit from the program and who would meet the criteria, and once you’ve narrowed it down to the best of the best, [b]it’s basically a little random because it’s impossible to differentiate between the most qualified.  I think it’s the same thing here.  Everyone needs to accept that, among the students with the super high scores, it’s basically a lottery.[/b][/quote]

This, AND people need to remember that it has always been a little bit of a sliding scale between different CES locations. This has always been the case, and does not represent a change in protocol this year. [/quote]
Not this.  MCPS stated that they look at peer cohort. Do the other competitive programs do the same? [/quote]

I don't think at the CES level, the cohort argument is that important. For example, Cold Spring draws mostly from a handful of schools that feeds into Wootton and Churchill. They are all good. Maybe Stone Mill used to send a few more in.

What they did is more subtle, they separate a few schools out to give them a home CES, I believe for the rest of the catchment area, it is a lot easier to get into Fox Chapel now that Rachel Carson and more importantly Matschunaga is no longer eligible to send kids to the regional center.
