[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here. I wonder if anyone on here knows how the final decision on acceptance is being made. Last year, 3 kids I know from DC's school applied to HGC, one got in, one was put on the waiting list and never received the offer, the third one was denied. Obviously, I don't know their test scores, or their regular grades, but the one that did get accepted does fit a description one of the PPs provided - a quiet, studious girl, while the rejects were rowdy boys. If anything, I thought one of the boys would definitely get in, but it wasn't the case. Say, if all three kids score similarly well on the test, and their reports cards are comparable (Ps and ESs), how does the county decide on admission?[/quote] When my DC went to HGC, all five kids who were accepted were boys, and not all the "quiet" ones. Some years, it's boy heavy; others, it's girl heavy.[/quote]
