[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 3rd grader is in LIII and advanced math. Didn’t get a CoGat last year and applied and had a perfect GBRS but was rejected. This year finally got a CoGAT but it’s nowhere near the in pool scores. We applied anyway. What are our chances?[/quote]

I am really confused as to what they used last year to put student's into Level IV. and wondering if 3rd graders CogAT scores this year will have the same weight. Wouldn't there be considerable more students now due to the CogAT  being administered this year instead of last?? I guess I am wondering if they will accept less kids.[/quote]

The NNAT determined In-Pool last year--I can't remember what the cut-off number was, but that essentially took the place of CogAT in terms of weight along with all of the other factors. I'm wondering the same thing because there's already a full class, so how many more students could be feasibly be added? And I know that you can't pull kids out of AAP if they are already in it, but I imagine that there are a handful of students in there already that have substantially lower CogAT scores that wouldn't have even been considered for Level IV in a normal year. I also question how accurate the GBRS really was in virtual times. [/quote]

They can definitely add kids. They would split into more classes if need be. No way were gbrs accurate last year. [/quote]

I don't believe the GBRS scores were accurate for last year. Even though they could add classes, I don't think that would be ideal for them. There was no pool this year for 3rd graders, so it is all parent referral. I think it is definitely going to be harder for 3rd graders to get in based on the current AAP classes being already filled.[/quote]
