Grades should not matter this year. MCPS introduced new syllabus for Math and English, and not all schools volunteered for this.

Oh, please! We all know that grades don't mean much, especially in earlier years; teachers' input, from years past, at least in theory, should have provided the 'holistic' component of the evaluation, such as the applicants' study skills, perseverance, etc.
That's what grades are for.
