[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Here is where I feel confused...my son's COGAT score of 127 was 95th percentile nationally, and 90th percentile in Fairfax.  I would assune that his WISC score would place him in roughly the same range.  Considering that the program services roughly 19% of the total population, and considering that his GBRS was extremely strong, shouldn't this place him in the program? I just can't see that 19% of the students are scoring in the 130 range, but perhaps I am wrong.  [/quote]

19% aren’t. [b]Approx 70% of kids in the pool are admitted. Approx 50% of kids not in pool are admitted.[/b] Approx 1/3 of appeal files are admitted the 19-20% of kids in aap are comprised of all those kids, who did and didn’t have score benchmarks met.

I think your cogat and wisc support each other and unless you have something else, submit them but I don’t think it will help without more goodl luck. [/quote]

I just don't see why they exclude 30% of kids that are in-pool while admitting so many that were not in-pool. I know that many kids have lower scores and still have the capacity to be in AAP, but the process feels so arbitrary. Why not just accept everyone that is in-pool and then also accept some that were not in-pool?[/quote]
