[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This was pre covid, so take it with a grain of salt, but I filed an appeal and wrote a letter explaining my child’s traits that made the CES a good fit for them, and I included a writing sample my child had written for fun. It really showcased DC’s creativity, vocabulary and passion for writing. The appeal was successful and DC was then placed in the waitpool. IMO, the writing sample probably had more sway than my letter, but I guess I’ll never know for sure. DC’s number was later randomly chosen and DC was admitted to the CES and did well there. Good luck.[/quote]

There was no lottery pre-covid for CES so this doesn’t make any sense. This year’s 7th graders were selected for CES in Spring 2020 not by lottery. This year’s 6th graders were the first kids to be selected by lottery into CES in 2021, which was not pre covid. [/quote]

I think PP means that their child went into the waitpool and was selected. MCPS hasn't always been clear, but the CES waitpool may not have been ranked. That is, it was a "lottery" off the waitpool even pre-covid. So, the first round was hand-picked but all subsequent rounds were random from the waitpool. [/quote]
