• Late applications are not processed and the student is not allowed to take the exam
• Any exceptions are handled through the Office of Student Appeals in Upper Marlboro

Name	Weighted GPA	GPA Score	Verbal Percentile	Math Percentile	Total Score
Student A	3.85	96.25	85	93	274.25

Student C	4.25	106.25	99	98	303.25

• There is no pass or fail
• The GPA Score is calculated by multiplying the Weighted GPA by 25
• Algebra and geometry taken either year receive extra weight
• Science courses at math and science magnet schools also receive extra weight
• The Total Score is computed by adding the GPA Score, the Verbal Percentile, the Math Percentile
• Students with the top 225-250 scores are admitted to Eleanor Roosevelt High School's Science and Technology Program. The next 100 students are placed on the Waiting List
• The Program only has room for a limited number of students. The fact that a student does not make the cut off, does not mean that student would not find success at Eleanor Roosevelt High School or in another academic setting
• Notification of selection is made in mid to late March. At that time, students who have been selected for admission or placed on the Waiting List are notified of an orientation and pre-registration program
• All students on the Waiting List should make alternate academic plan
