[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also heard it’s top 10% of the school and your school aart teacher knows the cut off score.[/quote]

Yes, the pool is the top 10% of scores at a given school. We don't know if that is an average of the CoGAT and NNAT or subscores or what.

[quote=Anonymous]In pool doesn’t guarantee acceptance of full time AAP though. [/quote]

Also true

[quote=Anonymous]If you parent referred and your child’s not in pool and doesn’t make into full time AAP ( but will be in advanced math automatically) you can appeal since your child already have a file in central AART office.[/quote]

Kids who are parent referred are not automatically placed in Advanced Math. Advanced Math is decided by the schools after LIV decisions are made by the committee. But yes, any child whose application for LIV was not accepted can appeal.

[quote=Anonymous]If you didn’t parent refer and your child wasn’t in pool and doesn’t get in to full time AAP, you can’t appeal the same year since they don’t have a file of your child already. [/quote]

Kids who are not in-pool and who were not parent refered were not considered for LIV by the committee so they cannot appeal. There is literally nothing to appeal because they were not considered.

[quote=Anonymous]If your child’s school is not an AAP center, you can ask for principal place for local aap until 6th grade if your child’s qualified.[/quote]

Not really. You can ask for you child to be considered for Principal placement into the LLIV class but it is a year by year placement. The placement is not guaranteed through 6th grade. A child can be removed because they are not doing well or because the school needs the place for a LIV placed kid who has returned to the base or is new to the school and the parents don't want them to attend the Center. Principal placed kids are not guaranteed a seat in the LLIV class.
