[quote=Anonymous]Here's my weird conspiracy theory: I think the work samples matter a lot, but not in the way you'd expect. They don't have a ton of time with each file, and they're not going to do more than quickly glance at the sample or read the first line or two. If the work samples don't look like "AAP level work" when they do their quick glance, I bet the kid often gets rejected. I had a kid who was mysteriously rejected years ago. The AART sat down with me and we tried to figure out why my kid was rejected. The only thing we came up with was that while the work samples had wonderful, creative stories, the handwriting was sloppy, and my kid misspelled a bunch of words early in the story. I submitted a parent letter in the appeals along with new work samples that all had better handwriting and no spelling mistakes. Kid got in. The process is really, really, really stupid. [/quote]
