Did anyone receive rejections today? Also, are there any similarities - like last name is A or Z? I hate the USPS wild card factor.

Sounds like only acceptances were received today?


Notified today. Waitlisted. Is everyone that doesn’t get in waitlisted?


No, although last year there was a mistake and wait-list letters were sent out to all rejected families. I can't recall, however, if that was for CES or middle school magnets.

You have to keep in mind that CoGAT score is not the only basis of acceptance to the CES.

That one is really hurting.....

Can someone from DCUM post this if they receive scores like these?


No universal screening, only a portion of potentially high scorers took the test.

It's consistent with Cold Spring being ultra competitive with a lot of 99th percentilers.
