[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It all comes down to whether or not you have a teacher who maxes out the recommendation form. When my kid went through this a few years ago at Deal there was one English teacher who didn't max it out for any students on that team and zero kids from that team got in despite many of them having a 4.0 and being school leaders. It's a deeply flawed process but it's DCPS and that's what they do. [/quote] My kid suspected this. He was shocked his friends with 4.0’s in geometry, physics, and who are in national junior honors society, student council, etc, did not get interviews. He suspected it was partially because one of the teachers they all had write their recs is pretty tough on them.[/quote] Walls is a humanities oriented HS. How did this friend do in ELA and writing! It is not enough to be top in STEM classes.[/quote]
