If that's the case, GBRS loses its credibility for admissions to AAP. Also, the eligible kids in the regular program would not do good as they would be utterly bored. If we have to compete with the excellent education system in place in many parts of the world, all eligible kids should be given the opportunity to fulfill their potential!

well I recently heard, on here actually, that some parents pay as much as $450 to have their children tested by psychologists whose names are passed around on the internet as being "very good." This gives the well-off and highly driven parents a big advantage it would seem over people who can't afford this or who are simply humble enough to accept "no" for an answer.

Fully recognizing that this is an archaic thread, I have never heard of this approach, beyond going to GMU for WISC testing. Who are these crooked psychologists? This would actually jeopardize their license, btw.

These crooked psychologists exist in some unhinged parent’s mind on this forum. It’s not a real thing.
