[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They only put together a packet for kids under consideration.

No one has a clue what the committee is looking for but there are kids who get in with lower scores and stellar GBRS. There are kids who get in with great scores and awful GBRS.

Seriously, there is no reason to be worrying.

I want my kid to have the option to choose AAP or not but he will be fine academically if he is not accepted. He is in pool and we are going to include some from home work samples and the parent questionnaire. His test scores are solid, 135 NNAT and 135 Cogat composite. His teachers were very positive in his parent teacher conference. We’ll see what happens.

You have a year, take a breath and watch the process this year. There will be meetings at your school next year to walk you through everything.[/quote]

I am not worrying.  just want to understand the process.  because clearly I had no idea and I dont want to mess things up for him by missing something (i am happy to hear they will have meetings).  [/quote]

You have a year to figure it out. Google AAP Application and you can see the forms that are used. The actual selection process is a bit of a mystery. Selection is based on a variety of factors and the emphasis seems to be different for each committee member.

In a few months you will see the posts from people wondering why their kid wasn’t accepted with 150 CogAT while a kid with a 115 was. And then people will bemoan low GBRS from teachers who hate their kid. Others will discuss how tests mean nothing and that kid with the 115 is amazing and deserves to be in. And you will learn all about the WISC.
