To Those Who Will Appeal if their Child is Not Selected for AAP

[Anonymous]

I know someone who appealed a rejection from college and was admitted.

As for the resources, what is the cost of AAP?

Do you mean financially or psychologically?

Only for those who can't accept reality. Imagine if universities allowed rejected applicants to "appeal" the decision? It's part of the process because it's the only way to stem inevitable lawsuits from helicopter parents.

Huh? All universities accept appeals. Sometimes there is a mistake and dealing with it is just common sense. Reality is sometimes additional information changes the decision, as it should. Sheesh...

No legitimate university has an "appeal" process. Give me a break. Name some.

College of Idaho.

Many schools will have test at the bottom of the letter stating if there is a reason why you think this is in error...

The troll will be along in a minute to say "that's different". All respectable universities will fix an error or reconsider if additional information becomes available.

yeah, but a GBRS of 6 really should be disqualifying.

Fairfax County has the largest class size in the entire DC area. Please, if you feel class size is that important, push for smaller classes for all students. Many people want AAP for the curriculum just as much if not more so than to have their child be with the gifted students. I don't fault any of these parents for wanting their children to have a more advanced curriculum if their children are borderline.

the AAP math is adanced by one year, and they do differentiate. Beyond that, the curriculum is exactly the same as the regualr classes.

The acceptance rate is 92%. How could someone not get accepted?
