[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Magnets are different from HGCs.  HGC testing is recommended for those who are at the top in Global Screening.

Magnets are what they call the high schools.  Those require separate tests and teacher recommendations etc.

Again, HGC testing follows from Global Screening.  I know--my child went through it.  You can also ask for your child to be screened for HGCs.  [/quote]

Nope they are not different. 3 of my kids went through HGC testing, 1 has gone thorugh both middle school and high school magnet testing. They are all magnet programs, they are called differently. In case of HGC, the applications are sent to parents whose kids are identified as GT and avilable online. However non-GT students can still apply. Both GT non-GT students application will not be accepted after the deadline. For middle school and HS forms are not sent anymore. GT and non-GT identified students must apply before deadline. After this process the selection is as I have described before.[/quote]

You made my point.  In HGCs the kids are sent if their kids fall in the upper end of Global Screening.  Anyone else, as I said, can apply too.

For HS magnets you apply.

In both cases the MCPS website gives you the info.  During Global Screening you do send in parent recommendations and teacher recommendation are considered. [/quote]
