[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s Math, Science and Comp Sci. Some people stronger on science but lower in math (they get in), some stronger in comp sci. There is no 1 thing. Again, there are 3 levels of 9th grade magnet math (mag geometry, mag pre cal & magnet functions). There are levels of kids who get in!  [/quote]

You are making no sense dude![/quote]

What does three levels of math have ANYTHING to do,with acceptance rates.[/quote]

Also, in 9th grade there is no magnet math. Math is not part of the smacs block. In ninth grade it’s a science, computer science and research and experimentation (r & e) class.[/quote]

That’s not correct. 9th graders take Magnet Precalc or Functions, both of which are magnet classes.  If any kids come in from Algebra 1 in 8th, they take Magnet Geometry over the summer before 9th, so they also start 9th in Magnet Precalc. [/quote]

This doesn't make sense that they'd take a student with only Algebra 1 vs. a student who has completed Algebra 2 and is ready for more.  That's not really a magnet program if they are taking kids with just Algebra 1.[/quote]

You don't understand the program.  It's about potential in a variety of stem related fields, not just where you are on a math track.[/quote]

Correct. That’s why so many people from top top schools are going to be surprised when their kid maybe doesn’t get in. They take all levels of kids, not just the top top top. Thank you poster. It IS about potential. [/quote]
