[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They care about scores, grades and the essay in that order.

Also it's still not a lottery, PP.[/quote]

They also care about race and gender.  I doubt they care much about the essay.  [/quote]

They don’t get any info about race. It is 100 per cent race blind.

What a weird assertion. MCPS has all the race data on its current students. It doesn't need it on the application.[/quote]

Sigh. MCPS also has all grades but like the racial makeup that info IS NOT SHARED with the selection committee. They have made it very clear again and again IT IS A RACE BLIND SELECTION.[/quote]

This is too literal. It is not really race blind. They may not look at the demographics box in your student record but they look at proxies and they prioritize people who look like they may be of certain races due to being ESOL, FARMS or having other parts of their background that align.[/quote]

You know, looking at the demographics of the most "prestigious" magnet high schools, that really does not seem to be the case. I mean, look at RMIB or Blair SCMS. Those programs are heavily white and Asian, and UMC. So, yes, someone "could" look at proxies but there is absolutely no proof that they do or have done. [/quote]
