[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think there is never any harm in applying to MS magnets (both programs) for a HGC student - just to see if you can make it. Once you get in you can always decide not to go... Maybe some people pretend that they did not apply when they fail to get in.[/quote] Applying to the Middle school magnets is not trivial..test..writing samples..recommendations. Since we knew it was not something we were interested in, it seemed ridiculous to ask my child to go through all that. [/quote] Maybe. I would make them apply just so that they know where they stand. AND - if they do not get in, I would try to find where the deficiencies were so that they can be corrected in subsequent years. They will have to be applying in college anyways - I think it is great practice as well as a litmus test of your child's strengths and weaknesses. An HGC education should have prepared your child to take such challenges in stride. [/quote]
