Someone who got in told me anyone who appeals gets in. Is that true?

[Anonymous]

I had heard this also before I appealed on my DC's behalf last year. Wasn't true for us!

1,737 second-graders admitted through the appeals process over the last decade, big difference

WOW so only 137 kids a year. That seems small to me! Clearly you don't get in just because you appeal.

sorry 173.7 kids a year. Typo!

During the first round any child who qualifies for AAP would have been admitted. They had NNAT2/Cogat/GBRS/Work Samples/Commentary to determine child eligibility. If these (several chances) were not sufficient to get a child admitted, chances of getting admitted in appeal are very low unless WISC is extremely high. It seems this year WISC is not working either (going by reports on this forum)

Wow really? You realize this is only true if you assume the committee is infallible? And also that nobody really knows what is “working” since appeals have not been decided. I think the committee does their best, to be clear, but I expect it is hard to ensure consistency and also that, being humans, they are not in fact infallible.

Don’t go by threads on this forum. There are just a handful of pops reporting wisc scores as well as trolls.
This forum is a fraction of information.

If the number in the WaPo article is correct, then PP has a better grasp on admissions than you do.

Seriously? So my DC with an IQ of 135 wasn't qualified? I disagree..

Well, if “any child who qualifies” is admitted first round, no one would ever get in on appeal since those children apparently aren’t qualified. Except that’s not how it works because it’s subjective so there is no clear thing of being qualified. A first round of decisions are made; they reconsider if you ask in case the initial decision wasn’t correct.

As far as success on appeal this year with high WISC, no one can say whether or not that is “working” since appeals decisions haven’t come out yet. It’s all speculation. All the quoted number tells you is simply how many rising 3rd grade appeals were admitted over a decade.

Your opinion vs AAP committee/FCPS opinion. Who do you think has more weight-age? Does your DC high IQ is supported by good NNAT/Cogat/GBRS?

My child didn't get in first round. He is a 148 IQ. Pretty sure AAP won't even be challenging.

It's grade school. It's not supposed to be challenging. Engaging, yes. Challenging, no.

And why do you think your child did not get admitted to AAP?

Because the committee didn't know he has a 148 IQ and his scores on NNAT and CogAT didn't represent his true abilities. Would be my guess.

And why do you think your child did not get admitted to AAP?

"IQ scores and other measures of cognitive ability often increase over time when children are highly motivated, independent learners and when adults provide stimulating activities and a variety of reading materials" - so my kids IQ may even increase?! Ay yay yay!

GBRS was 10. NNAT and CogAT were in the 120s but shouldn't matter when you have a WISC (group administered screening tests compared to a 1:1 administered IQ test).
