DD got into RMIB. No other applications anywhere. She’s in the JW cluster but went to a private school. Pretty sure she will accept.

Sorry! Did you apply elsewhere?

No need to be sorry we only applied to RMIB. RM is her homeschool. If she really wanted to, she could join IB in 11th grade. Not a definite decision yet, but I think when she registers for her high school classes she will get off the path to lead to joining IN in 11th and she is okay with that.


That’s good!

Applicant scores with median of accepted candidates. The letter had a table with student’s score/points possible. Another column showed percentile relative to applicant group. The first column had the median score of accepted group.


So MCPS did not provide national percentiles for CogAt scores with profiles like middle school magnet applicants?

No

Neither. Just a letter saying my DS is on the waitlist and to turn in the form if he wants to stay on it.


Is that a “Letter of Intent” form?

Release scores when available.
All schools use the same type of envelope: big for acceptance, regular for reject or waitlist


Or, people could just open whichever type envelopes when they arrive, and read the contents.


My guess is that your child didn’t apply multiple places, including private schools, and want a lot of time to consider.
