[quote=Anonymous]If your child doesn't get in now, continue to enrich on your own. There's a second test offered I think in 4th grade, but I don't know if you have to ask for it or it's automatic if you didn't get in. If he doesn't get in the second time around, continue to enrich and them have him take honors in MS and in HS. DD's BFF didn't get in the first time around and is now at TJ. I can think of at least a couple of other kids I coached in a STEM extracurricular who weren't in AAP (to my consternation, because they were among my best students--better than many of the AAP students I coached). They're in HS now and doing spectacularly well. Your son's desire to learn and work ethic will serve him better in life than "giftedness." --former AAP parent (whose kid scored super high) [/quote]
