I found online registration and the drop down and status and it says there are currently no active submissions.

Mine shows “submitted”. Make sure to use the account the application was submitted from."

Ah ok - it was sent through my husbands or sons account

My son was getting horrifically stressed out over how well his application was, so he kept wanting me to look over it, though I'm not a professional.

Do poolesville SMCS and GE look at previous map-scores too? My son was constantly worried his drop from 300 in 7th grade map m spring to 289 map winter 8th will make his application look bad.


This is his essay:

I see the world through the lens of my camera, and the pen strokes in my notebook. Ever since I was young, I had a passion for the natural world, from the vivid colors of the tropics to the muted shades of the poles. My mom brought me books from the library, which gave me a window to a wider world, bigger, even, than the windows of my bedroom. They told me stories of faraway lands, and about the fundamental truths about our universe, all in pieces of bonded-together paper. Those books laid a foundation for who I wanted to be: a scientist.


Science is a very broad subject, maybe even too broad to be quantified, but it’s the key to understanding the workings of our universe, and what makes us tick. They can teach us life and nature, and quarks and photons. They can even tell us why we ask questions, and why they don’t get answered.


A scientist needs to maintain a healthy mix of curiosity and skepticism throughout their research. Every detail in our world is deceiving and waiting to be examined. Nothing can be trusted without careful observation. The scientist is similar to a trapeze artist in this manner, always hanging on the edge between intelligence and madness, a quality needed to gain an understanding of science. And once you finally understand it, the feeling is indescribable.

My goal is to give that feeling, that understanding of science, to the world.




Thank you to all of you who took your time to give me advice on what I can tell him to make him feel better.

P.s. I'm not trying to be an egoistical parent, but if I come across that way, apologies in advance.

Thanks!

I’m not going to comment on the essay but my son had a drop in his MAP scores. The year he applied, they said they would take the higher if the last two tests. You might want to call and double check if that’s still the case.
