Not true.  If you're talking about CES or the magnets, it's not universal access.  There are still thresholds that kids need to meet.  The question is, why bother to apply COGAT to every kid if you're not using it other than for a meaningless G&T designation.[/quote]

Seems like the threshold to qualify is not high.  It's an actual lottery.  Low chance of selection.[/quote]

That’s your opinion.  My kid with a 98 pct COGAT missed the MAP R threshold by a point.  She’s a summer birthday and one of the youngest in her class. COGAT is age normed.  The MAP R threshold is not. [/quote]

Oh interesting, you got someone to tell you the MAP-R cutoff for this year?  Would you mind sharing what the cutoff was and whether you are at a high, medium, or low FARMS school?

(And sorry about your daughter.  It is indeed a problematic selection process as-is, I hope they'll change it in the future.)[/quote]
