Of the 10,000+ individuals that applied for a G/T Magnet spot this year, approximately 8,000 of them have been identified as either qualified or not qualified. G/T Coordinators are still working to push the last 2,000 through Admissions. Some of those 2,000 files have been completed, and are waiting on the G/T coordinator. Some of those 2,000 files are somewhere in the Admissions process (on campus being written, on the table being signed, in a box awaiting the next step, and so forth). And, inevitably, there is a parent who wants to have this conversation with me:
Parent: I would like to know if my child was identified as G/T.
Me: (looking at all the files on all the tables) I have no idea.
Parent: What do you mean?
Me: (looking files piled high on the tables, and the boxes of files stacked next to the tables that have yet to be started) I mean I have no idea. You will find out on March X.
