[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't know what everyone's yammering on about. It's been established several times already that the magnet cutoffs were higher in previous years. Sheesh.[/quote]

I don't think there's a hardline but 240 being tossed around seems about right for the STEM magnet and a bit lower for the Humanities. In past years it seemed much higher.[/quote]

In past years the pool was about the same the difference was how selection worked. [b]Other years students were selected from the pool based on their scores relative to their home ms cohort This year they used a random lottery.[/b] [/quote]

This is the key detail that people are missing and explains why one kid with 248 gets in while others with 270 and 280+ don't. They determined who they believed were good candidates and put them in a pool. They did not want to split hairs and just picked randomly from the pool. This is exactly what they said they would do this year. It isn't complicated.[/quote]
