I interpret the cold spring case as 99% MCPS across the board rejection. There are many 99% national across board rejection at cold spring. [/quote]

I find it hard to believe there are "many" rejected. Not even waitlisted? MCPS said there were something like 6500 students tested. I don't remember the exact number but this is probably close and the top 1 percentile of that is 65 students. Aren't 130-140 students admitted to TPMS and 130-140 to Eastern with some kids admitted to both?

They would have a really hard just justifying that a child with 99th percentile on all three Cogat subscores has a peer cohort. By their own definition, a peer cohort is 20 or more kids with similar profiles. I would be shocked to see data that shows that there are 20 or more 1 percentilers at one MS.

Agree, and of course the number receiving a 99 in all three subscores would be much lower than 65.  There have been posters saying their kid got a 99 on one test and 80s on another, which should be far more common.[/quote]
