[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is anyone willing to share what their child scored who got in or waitlisted for Barnsley?  I am deciding whether or not to appeal--child got a 125 (median =116).  Is very disappointed, constantly asking me for more challenge, homework, etc.  If the score received simply wasn't even close what was required then I will reconsider the appeal.

Thanks![/quote]

That median is for the applicant pool, not the accepted pool. I'm not sure if that's the median for the Barnsley applicant pool (that would be my assumption) or for the entire 6200 county-wide pool.

My kid was accepted to Barnsley and got a 136. I don't think that's a record-breaking score, but she also had a very high MAP-R score (although I don't remember what it was), consistently great report cards (even given the fairly meaningless scale) and a strong recommendation from her teacher.

I'd first get your child's report cards and MAP-R scores, have those in hand, and then go talk to his/her teacher to see if there's the possibility that the teacher might help support an appeal with a revised or expanded recommendation. To have a shot at a successful appeal, you will need more than the 125 score. [/quote]
