This makes me think it’s just bad luck if you are amongst the 1/3 rejected ones, even if there was no justification for rejection (which the committee doesn’t provide) Different files are reviewed by different members of committee. It’s bad luck if your file land up with the ones who al ate think that high scores means the child was prepped. |

No because we don't sit through the day long training the selection committee does. Perhaps ask one of them? |

| Just because 1/3 of in-pool kids were rejected in the past doesn't mean it will happen this year. Clearly they're doing things a bit differently now. |

No. I mean to say that at my kids' school, the ones designated as LII for both 1st and 2nd grade are likely to get a high GBRS. LII designation means little to the committee, but GBRS is much more important than the test scores. |

They don't plan to reject 1/3 of the in-pool kids. In the past, in-pool may mean a 132 NNAT and a 115 CogAT. Or it might mean a kid with a 110 NNAT and CogAT V/Q/N of 105/132/110. Or it could be a kid with high test scores, but a low GBRS, poor comments, and poor work samples. The dcum speculation in the past is that kids who are only in pool on the NNAT, but with CogAT well below cutoff look like the NNAT score was a fluke. Or that kids who get high test scores, but low GBRS and/or poor work samples inflated their scores through prepping. I doubt that many kids with a CogAT composite >= 132 and a strong GBRS are in the 1/3 getting rejected. That will probably hold true this year, even in the schools with the higher in-pool cutoffs. Kids who make the 140 cutoff on NNAT only, but have a CogAT composite around 120 or the kids who get terrible GBRS are the in-pool kids who are likely to get rejected. With the generally higher cutoffs, it is likely that a much smaller fraction of the in-pool kids will be rejected this year. |

| They might have only let in 2/3 of ‘pool’ when the ‘pool’ was 132+. My guess is that if you’re in the pool, you’ll get in. Because the pool is smaller, but the program is about the same size. It allows them to account for other factors for the kids under 140, like socioeconomic factors, race, schools, etc. Unless you actually think they are making the program smaller, it’s not a huge deal. The problem are the kids with 132+ who may not realize that they need to Parent Refer. Feels like an odd game of ‘gotcha’ IMO. There’s been no official announcement of a pool email or anything so it’s possible people don’t even know it’s out. When I went through the process with DD a few years ago, I got the scores and then the pool letter in the mail later. I don’t know why they’re obfuscating the process. |

PP, yes socioeconomic, race and school are already one of the big factors since they are now going with local norms. In fact they are as important as the cogat and GBRS. |

Does anybody know when the local school submits the AAP package to the Central Selection Committee and when parents can request a copy of the package?

Usually it’s done by late February and the committee makes decisions in March. It might vary by school. |
