[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are they going to review all the 1000+ applications, essays and scores and select 100 students on a single day?[/quote]

[b]they are not going to read each of 1000[/b]+ applicant's scores/[b]essays[/b]/recommendations  -- the cogat test acts like a filter to reduce the number of candidates. [/quote]

You think? So how do you figure they will grade essay on the scale they need to fill?
This is cute. How the Cogat could be the only filter and factor since you can have
tons of students who would score exactly the same in Cogat having the same
amount of questions wrong. How do you pick who gets in then?
Besides, Cogat is something you can prepare to and score higher if you do, otherwise
the test prep centers would go bankrupt. Test can not and is not the only factor,
essays and recommendations and other achievements do have some weight
don't you think? So suggesting that MCPS will just ignore them is really
offensive to the office.[/quote]

Do you work for the county? "offensive to the office"? Give me a break. [/quote]
