Grade 8 application program deadline was Friday, 11/1/19. The link is closed. Results for all programs will be posted in late January 2020.

I guess MCPS is using Chinese Lunar Month 1 which ends Feb 22 -


You know, I'm as literal-minded as anybody, but I'm finding it really hard to get upset about finding out on February 3 instead of January 31. Or even February 4.


No, I am not upset either, but I am rather amused. I still believe they will release the results today --otherwise, they could have made the change on the portal !


I’m upset because we don’t know where DC is going to school next year. Stressful. Need the info to make that decision.

"Letters will be put in the mail on Feb 1. You will be able to log in to the parent portal to review results the same day. That said, it will be released centrally on a Saturday so if there is a glitch it will not be resolved until Monday Feb 3 to view results."

Just bringing it to this page so people can read what the RM magnet coordinator had to say.


This doesn't make much sense. Why would they mail on a Saturday?

1. Most applicants will be rejected --- so rejection is normal

2. This is a selection process NOT a competition process -- there is no clear cut who gets in ! It is up to the committee to select "winers". So if you don't get in it does not mean you are not good enough for the program (maybe you are too good for the program -


Thanks for the reminder.

This thread is about when the acceptances/rejections/WL will be sent and received and how.
