Ask them

Precisely. I believe they only accept transfers for sophomores and not juniors or seniors, but you should ask what the policy is. The problem is that you need to show them what has changed, and need some real Kick-Ass grades for the last year and this year, and probably need to take the PSAT again. You better be taking the most rigorous classes your school offers.

Mcnair doesn't take into account what classes you are taking in 9th grade as a transfer applicant. The psat is the most important aspect of the application.

That doesn't make sense, but that would be par for the course for JCPS. It's been like 7 years since my younger was applying but I seem to recall that there was a point system assigned for the test and grades and extracurriculars etc. It wasn't all just the test.

The test is the majority of the application. There is a point system for grades but it just inputs as Math grade or Language Arts grade. The sum of all course grades are less than what the PSAT is weighed.
