[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just can't really fathom that people are hardcore [b]gearing up for appeals when results haven't come out yet[/b]. I mean, you know your child is not likely to get in, but you are going to insist then get in anyway, without really having a chance to know the alternative? Did you even look into your home MS besides glancing at the kids who walk by at 3pm each day?[/quote]

Yeah, appeals are only for rejections.  Waitlisted kids don't need an appeal as they are automatically reviewed when spots open up.  The selections are not a lottery... they go back to top CogAT score and review from there.  [/quote]

Well in that case I really don't see the point! You'd think the kids who were originally waitlisted would stand a much better chance of being offered admission than kids who have been put on the waitlist due to appeal. [/quote]

That is a correct assumption.  However, some parents feel they must appeal regardless.[/quote]
Are you saying that the process for middle school magnets is different from the process for CESs? For CES selection, every student in the waitpool is considered qualified, and when students are selected from the waitpool for admission, they are selected at random. But you’re saying that there’s no waitpool for the middle school magnets, instead there’s an actual ranked waitlist?[/quote]
