AAP admission stats 2015

Can posters include ethnicity? I wonder if that's a factor in the lower scores getting in and higher scores not getting in- flame away.

Don't start with the race/ethnicity!

Naglieri: 122 (91%)

CogAt: Verbal 132, Quant 118, Nonverbal 108, Composite 122 (92% for her age)

GBRS: 16 with VERY thorough commentary. Her teacher really filled up every free space with 4 comments per section. Very concrete examples.

Parent referred on advice of school.

Admitted

Side note, brother from same ES not admitted last year with 126 Naglieri, CogAt 114, 103, 107, 112 Composite and also a 16 GBRS. Has autism and ADHD. Doing great at base school with smaller class size due to Title I Status, but keep hearing of friends leaving for AAP, and no LLIV option for our school. Did not appeal for him, but do worry his peer group is dwindling. Really wish LLIV was at ALL schools. Then I could keep my kids together, and all children could get the challenge they need. This year, he does get a weekly pullout for Level III, and report card says advanced math, but I'm not sure what it entails.

I would urge you to look at it again for your DS. My DS is in AAP and has autistic kids in his class. It seems to be a great symbiotic relationship for all the kids in the class.

You know, were it not for the 16 GBRS, I'd not even consider it. But now, I think missing 2 years, then catching up would possibly be too stressful for him. Since we did not apply this year.

Catching up is not impossible for kids who belong in the program. My son came here and we didn't know about AAP. He entered in 5th grade and was soon at the top of his class.

May as well add that in with the scores- all of that is included in the application.

Can't figure this out. NNat was 138, composite Cogat was 140 and gbrs was 13 yet dd did not get in. Reading some of the scores and gbrs that got in I am really pissed. Definitely will appeal.

My DC scores/gbrs were nearly identical and got in. I think you would get in on appeal.

We did not send any optional materials either.

My 4th grade son got 99 percent in NNAT-2 and 128 in composite for Cogat. But he was denied. I am very puzzled. He also is in AAP level 3 this whole year and in level 2 last year. Should I appeal. I am so disappointed. I am not sure what GBRS is? I have never heard of it. We are thinking about an appeal if the WISC scores is high enough but how much chance is there?
Anyone know what WISC4 scores should be?

11:57- your's is the oddest denial so far.

11:57 - did you do the parent questionnaire? My DD had slightly lower scores than yours on both (but in the pool) and a gbrs of 14 - she's in, I didn't even doubt it as older DD threee year afo, scores lower (only one in pool) and got in.

If true, this seems unbelievable. Are you from a private school?

Strange that kids with both scores below 120-125 range, even with high GBRS would be admitted. It would make sense they would be admitted with the additional IQ score. Plus, a difference difference of 15-20 Pays between both tests pops as prepping.

This happens all the time, which is why AAP is not known as a "gifted" program anymore.

Hence the name change from GT to AAP.

And yours is the oddest use of an apostrophe so far.
