Thanks for your advice! I'm extremely sorry if I come across as snarky or rude, or even a "troll", but I genuinely have no idea about what Maryland's systems are like. We recently immigrated from a certain southeast Asian country to figure out this country's new opportunities. Apologies to everyone in the forum who think I'm trying to poke fun at American parents. Things in India were done a little more [i]difficultly[/i], so to speak. [/quote]

Nothing to apologize for.

Many American style applications are very vague, intentionally, to try to prevent applicatiants "gaming" the admissions metrics, and to try to find people from different life/educational backgrounds, instead of taking all the top people from one narrow area like a math test or even a broad test that is still purely "pencil on paper".

Asian style is a lot more clear and objective: take a test that can be graded by computer; but that pressures kids to ignore their interests to focus only on the test content, which isn't fair or optimal for catching people with _unique_ contributions.
