[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think 500+ with straight As is likelier than <500, so no interviews for kids with anything less, I guess.

The new Walls motto: take the easiest class load possible in middle school so you can ensure you have straight As.[/quote]

Does your middle school offer you a course catalog?[/quote]

At least 3 different math options per grade, electives, etc., so yes? Those in the hardest math being cut from interviews for not getting perfect scores seems unfair. They would have killed it on the test in past years so this is a VERY different admissions paradigm.

yes, 7th graders at Deal take:

7th grade math
8th grade math
Algebra 1
Geometry

Those who took Algebra 1 concurrently with geometry (the top 10-12 math students in the grade) will be far more likely to not have straight As for 7th grade.  The two Algebra 1 teachers who were teaching last year (7th grade) were outstanding but they did not give easy As at all.  [/quote]
