[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you tell them when you know they are equally eligible?[/quote]

No two kids are equally eligible. Each has strengths and weaknesses, and there's nothing wrong with that.

You tell them they'll get a great education no matter what class they're in, and you ask for Level 3 if it makes sense for your child. The AART will tell you if it doesn't and then you'll know.[/quote]

DP.  It's entirely possible that both kids are equally qualified, or even that the kid who was rejected is on paper more qualified than the kid who got in.  Different panels reviewed each file, and different people have different biases.  The selection process can be pretty random, especially if both kids are somewhat on the cusp of being admitted.  It's not cut and dried that one kid is smarter than the other or has academic needs that the other one doesn't have.

For OP, if your school has a LLIV, it's likely your other child will be principal placed.  If not, you'll have to ask yourself whether your kid who was admitted really has academic needs that couldn't be met in the base program and whether your child who was not admitted will develop an inferiority complex if that child stays in gen ed while the sibling goes to the center.  You can always choose to defer placement for your AAP eligible child and hope that your other one gets admitted in the next year.
