[quote=Anonymous][quote]I think there should be a cut score and everyone over gets in. Might need to juggle classes some, but it would be manageable. The grad school analogy is a bit strained, not sure how much of a CV you can build by 3rd grade. [/quote]

So are you proposing something like everyone with a 120-135 has their recommendations read and evaluated for admission, but everyone with a 135 (or whatever) and above automatically gets in? Or maybe to take into account for the different median scores, it could be "X above the median score automatically gets in..." Like 20 points. That would allow for a kid with a 133+ to automatically get in for the PC/OV cluster, and the kid with a 144+ to automatically get in at Cold Spring (to use the lowest and highest median, if I recall correctly).

Although the parents who post here don't form an adequate sample size, there were not *that* many parents who reported their child got in with a sub 125 score, and perhaps those kids were outliers in other tests/recommendations. And it didn't seem like there were *that* many kids with 136+ scores who *didn't* get in (outside of the Cold Spring feeder schools). Where it gets tricky is that there were some kids who were wait-listed with scores equal to or higher than kids who got in, but again, that is likely because of the other factors.[/quote]
