[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The most interesting thing I learned from my child was that [b]as part of the test they had to rank the programs they applied to[/b]. She had only applied to one. But I wonder if they will be using that information to spread out the offers to more students.[/quote] I think that they had to list their top 3 choices.[/quote] And probably won’t get into anything past number 3. [/quote] I wouldn't assume that. I know for a fact that kids in the upcounty have been admitted to all 4 of the programs they were eligible for (the 3 in Poolesville + RMIB). Obviously they can only go to 1, which leaves 3 spots open for admitting kids off the wait list. The ranking would be useful for that (for example, if there's a spot open in SMACS and a spot open in humanities, you would want to offer the SMACS spot to a kid who put SMACS as #1 and the humanities spot to a kid who put humanities as #1, not vice versa).[/quote]
