Admissions
Admission into MMSTC is a very rigorous process. First, eighth grade students must have a strong math background, usually Algebra 1, and also must take two aptitude tests, the Cognitive Abilities Test (COGAT) and MAT-8. About 600 hopefuls take these tests every year. The highest-performing students are invited to form the incoming class of 72 freshmen out of the 600.
In the 9th grade, new students may be admitted to fill any empty spots, with a similar entry process, based on aptitude tests and previously taken math courses.
