[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I would guess that over half of the kids in AAP get in through parent referra[/b]l. Teachers generally don't tell you to refer, even if they would assign a very high GBRS and think your child absolutely belongs in AAP. The AART will often call the parents of kids with CogAT composites above 120 and urge them to apply. That usually happens about 2-3 days before the application deadline, leaving you with very little time. You can ask the AART for your child's K and 1st grade GBRS. That should at least give you some idea of whether your child is viewed as AAP material. I agree that the system is odd and seems to benefit the parents who had their sights on AAP from the time their kids were toddlers, rather than those who don't quite understand the system. [/quote] I wouldn't. That math doesn't add up.[/quote]
