[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS applied last year and DD this year.  Last year he had to fill out different applications for the different programs.  This year there was only one application.  There was still a place to list awards and extracurriculars.  That did not change between last year and this year.  What struck me as odd was how some kids DD knew applied to 10+ programs.  That’s kind of nuts.  Is the application process too easy?  Now there are loads of waitlists to delve into.  One kid got into 7 programs.  There will now be 6 (or up to 7 if he decides to just go to home school) spots that will jump down to waitlist.  Seems like a lot of work for MCPS but oh well![/quote]

Can you please elaborate on the differences between last year's admissions process and this year's? I had one DC go through this last year, and I remember there was a single online application for countywide (SMAC (either Blair or Poolesville)/RMIB/Poolesville Ecology) programs, and separate applications for Blair CAP and Wheaton each. Have they simplified it further? Thanks![/quote]
