I think the poster was talking about the "in pool" letter preceding a "rejection" letter. If the letter you got today says your child is eligible, that decision is not going to change. |
This is new to me as well. Are there two versions of the letter? |
I see. That makes more sense. In pool not the same as eligible. |
All that the "in pool" letter means is that you, as a parent, do not need to initiate the AAP screening process. It has never been an admission ticket to AAP. |
Eligible:
NNAT 149 FAT 95% GBRS 15 |
Relief! DC eligible!
NNAT 125 FAT 86% GBRS 10 Can only think it might have been the strong recommendation letters. |
DC eligible!
NNAT 155, FxAT 90, GBRS 16 |
My DD was accepted with 81% FAT, 99% Cogat, 14 GBRS , letter of rec, writing samples of stories she wrote, pictures of awards, Lego robotics samples, DRA 1.5 levels above current grade level and mostly O's/4's in all subjects. |
Previous poster here- I meant 1.5 years above current grade level on current DRA- her DRA this year was level 34 at the beginning of the year. |
Aap center said the letters are color coded. Blue = kids who made it in based on merit. Yellow = kids who make it in, but were suspected of prepping |
DC ACCEPTED. 83% FAT, 121 NNAT, GBRS 11, Wisc 120. Mostly 3s, two 4s, and a couple of 2s on report card. Parent referral. |
I'm the one who posted these scores. Yes, I was worried with these scores. They came in lower than I expected. But I already have 2 kids at the AAP center, and, using them as a benchmark, I knew that DS#3 was at least as smart as them and that the center was the right place for him. I already scheduled my WISC at GMU in preparation for appeal had he not gotten in (will call to cancel tomorrow). I never even considered appeal with my first 2-- I figured that if they didn't get in, they would be better off at the base school anyway. But in this case, given my now familiarity with the program and knowing just how many kids do get in on appeal (and do quite well once admitted), I fully intended to appeal had he not gotten in. |

But will the teachers ever know who got the blue letters and who got the yellow ones? I think not. |
