[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many kids get into the GT center each year? [/quote]

If I remember correctly, this year there are 442 spots, with different numbers of spots available (ranges from 50-something to 70-something) at each of the schools. [/quote]

Are those numbers per year, so there are 442 4th grade spots open each year, or are only half of those spots for 4th graders?[/quote]

New poster here. I believe they said 442 spots for 4th grade, and 2000 kids usually apply each year. (That's out of 10,000-11,000 3rd graders.)[/quote]
I also heard about 442 and 2000 numbers. But are you sure there are only 10,000-11,000 3rd graders? Because then the overall acceptance rate would be about 442/10000= 4%. I thought it was more like 2%, since people keep posting that only 1 or 2 kids per school get accepted.

Here's where I got 10,000-11,000:

To be precise, 2010-2011 enrollment was 10,627 3rd graders, compared to 10,884 2nd graders (the kids now applying).[/quote]
