[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think the list is malicious. But I do think that it makes kids feel bad if they didn't get in and are watching many of their friends get in. It's kind of overwhelming. My kid wasn't even waitlisted and they are a straight A 99%ile TPMS magnet kid. They are not sad/lacking confidence, but they are definitely in their feelings about it (mostly anger and frustration).

So did kids with lower scores that your child get in? Is that the cause of anger/frustration?[/quote]

i have a kid who is definitely having higher scores in 280 upper range, A grades with mostly 100%, extracurriculars in school,  and was wait pooled for 2 and not selected for 2 more.  The sad part is DC was not even selected for one. MY kid definitely knows kids in their school very well below like 23 below in the score and got selected. It does make the kid feel bad, how come they were not selected even for one, when kids with lower score got in[/quote]
Is your child at a magnet? I do believe that magnet kids with high MAPs have it harder since they compete amongst themselves (despite the notion that the admission is school-blind). If anything, committee members can tell a student is at a magnet by looking at their transcript and the classes they are taking..[/quote]

DC was not in a magnet school, but had some magnet classes in the regular school.[/quote]

That’s not possible.[/quote]
