[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have twins and one made it into AAP and one did not. My kids attend a center school, so they'll be at the same school but not the same classroom anymore. Both my kids are very upset with this. 
I do not think my kid has a good chance at getting in with an appeal. My kid is a very well rounded student but doesn't have that puzzle-y type of brain. Below are my kid's stats.

For parents that have one child in gen ed and one in AAP, did you notice a huge difference in curriculum? Is gen ed really that bad?

NNAT - 108, COGAT - 134, WISC - 117. 
GBRS - 2CO, 2FO. 
All 4s on report card and ireadys are consistently in the 90+ percentile. [/quote]

Appeal with a letter and work samples.  Do not include the WISC.  I think the CogAT and GBRS are good enough, if you can come up with a compelling letter explaining why your child's needs can't be met in a general education classroom.  If your twins are roughly comparable in terms of ability, I'd mention in the letter that the twin who wasn't admitted is every bit as capable and in need of AAP as the twin who was admitted.  The AAP committee members might not want to be responsible for a "smart twin" and "dumb twin" dynamic when the rejected kid would have no problems with handling AAP.  [/quote]
