To the poster who wrote this post:  I need some help from you! DS is 2e and currently at an HGC. Our hope is that he gets into the TPMS but it is so competitive I don't know what his chances are. He's found his social group at the HGC. If he does not get into TPMS he will be going back to his W cluster home school for middle school and I really don't want that. Curious what private school you would recommend and/or any advice on the application process for TPMS and if you think it is worth applying to the Eastern magnet as an option (he actually does well in the humanities but is more interested in the math and science). I wish there were more options for him...

Different PP: I do know a family of a 2e boy at Eastern and they have been happier with the services there than they were with a different child at TPMS. We're at TPMS and it is working for our child (with some effort from me working with school counselor), who sounds similar to yours -- strong in both but more interested in math/sci. It doesn't hurt to apply to both and see what happens. I'm not really sure how they select the Eastern cohort, btw. TPMS is very test based. My DS was above accepted on 2 of 3 on the test with 1 pt below median on writing due to lack of time and he was completely rejected. His scores were actually higher than friend who got in. So, you really never know how things will play out until acceptances/rejections come in.[/quote]
