[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]99%, V53, Q43, N49. In boundary for TPMS, currently in a CES and not accepted at either TPMS or Eastern. At least the kid learned how to write in the CES.

If MCPS did a better job for all kids, people might not be losing their minds over envelopes. The County goes through the process of identifying kids as gifted at multiple points (and I think they're a little too generous with that label), but then has limited ability to actually provide enrichment.  100 spots for STEM enrichment is a joke. All kids could benefit from enriched science classes, not just the 99.9% who won this bizarre mcps lottery.

Those scores are high!  It's hard to believe they aren't high enough to get a spot, or at least waitlisted![/quote]

If those scores are accurate something else is going on. My kid got spots at both magnets with lower scores, also in bound for TPMS. MCPS says it’s not any one factor so I’d guess there are differences in:

- MAP scores
- grades
- age (PP’s kid is likely red shirted or one of the older kids)[/quote]

Wait. So you're on an anonymous board talking to someone else on an anonymous board and you happen to know that you're both at the same elementary school?

Yes, because of the info provided.[/quote]

If you're actually at the same school I would bet your child is a boy and the other PP's child is a girl or vice versa.[/quote]

I'm the PP. (V53, Q43, N49.)..My kid is a boy and not red-shirted. He has a late spring birthday. His gets all As, 5 on Parcc and 99% on Map, so I'm not really sure why he was rejected outright, but I'm guessing it has something to do with the number of boys? Or maybe they want a higher quant score for TPMS.  Or, [b]if you have 40 plus kids in a program with really similar scores, do you just pick names out of a hat[/b]? [/quote]

This. Even after they accounted for cohort, there are still too few seats for the qualified kids
And they are really all that different based on these scores and grade[/quote]
