[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand the anger and anxiety, but I don’t actually know of any high-potential kid who applied to Walls, Banneker, and MT and struck out. My own 99th percentile kid was below the GPA cutoff at Walls but accepted at Banneker. (Of course Banneker didn’t have the test scores but I assume it came across in the teacher recommendations.) [b]And I know there’s a parent on here whose kid wanted Banneker and didn’t get an interview, but was accepted at Walls.[/b] And I think in the end each of us thinks our kid wound up in the right place, even though of course as parents we all wish our wonderful kids were wanted everywhere by everyone.

This is just very suspect to me. Experienced the same thing and know my kid had great recommendations (accepted to privates also). Nothing is guaranteed but to not even get an interview is just strange. Walls gets all the scrutiny but I really believe Banneker's process is the one that should be examined.
