[quote=Anonymous]In-Pool means that a child is guaranteed to be considered, regardless of a parent’s choosing to submit an application. It is meant to catch kids whose parents don’t know about AAP for whatever reason. I believe the last audit of the program showed something like 2/3 of the kids in-pool were accepted into AAP. The kids are in-pool because they meet at least one of the basic criteria for admittance, in this case it is the test scores. That said, a good number of kids are accepted into AAP who are parent referred but the likelihood of acceptance from that group of kids is less then the kids in-pool. Does it matter? Yes, for the kids whose parents don’t know about AAP, it matters because they will be looked at and could be placed in a more challenging environment. The in-pool kids have a greater chance of being accepted because they have higher test scores. Is it the end all and be all? No. [/quote]
