[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not the PP, but I would venture to say s/he meant that a 140 IQ is not highly gifted and thus on the bubble for admission.  [/quote]

140 is highly gifted, but there are a lot of highly gifted students in MoCo. [b]With a 140 IQ, the child is far from a shoe in for magnet[/b].[/quote]

1.  It is "shoo-in", not "shoe in."

2. [b] Many of the magnet students have comparable IQs, [/b]so I agree that OP's child is not a shoo-in.  However, if she tests well, she will be admitted.

OP, also note that if you move to MoCo after the application date, you can request that your child be tested.  I have a friend who did this and her DD was admitted to the TPMS magnet in August that year.[/quote]

where is this info from?[/quote]

It is my guess.  Could be wrong, of course.  But when you use test scores to enroll 100 kids out of 10,000 high school freshman in a magnet program located in a metro area populated by highly-educated people, it is likely that most of the students will have IQs significantly above average.
