[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]

MCPS has always looked at peer cohort. I think you are confusing the middle school admissions this year, where cohort seemed to play a larger role than in the past, and CES admissions this year, where cohort appears to have played the same amount of role as it always has.

This makes sense, right? The middle school magnets draw from a much larger geographic area with much larger demographic swings. CES admissions have always been rich kids vs. rich kids and poorer kids vs. poorer kids, due to the regional model. [/quote]
