[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't apply (anymore.) There is universal screening. The first stage involves them recommending your child to take a test. If your child received a "gifted" designation in 2nd they will be recommended to take the test. You can opt out of taking the test or you can opt in if your child wasn't recommended.

From that pool of kids MCPS invites some kids for the program and puts others in a wait pool. There are stats somewhere with the number considered, invited, in the wait pool and not invited. Something like 6000-7000 "considered"/tested out of 11,000-12,000 total 3rd graders. Don't remember how many invited.[/quote]

So we'd already know if they'd taken the test?[/quote]

Yes. All current third graders were screened and parents received letters about whether they would be tested (with the chance to opt in or opt out).  Testing happened at local schools in February.[/quote]

Oh it’s current 3rd not 2nd?[/quote]

Yes.  All current second graders took a test in December and will receive results of whether they are labeled "gifted" in Juhe, but this is entirely separate from the CES admission being discussed here. And the second grade "gifted" designation doesn't really affect anything in third grade.[/quote]
