[quote=Anonymous]PP here.  I meant to say if you saw people posting that their 98% kids got rejected first round last year that doesn't mean a 98% this year wouldn't stand a great chance of getting in or even kids in the mid 90s or lower for that matter.  I realize you directed your question at kids IN the pool last year so 98%/132 and higher on last year's test.  Problem is that 98% captured a very wide group of Fairfax kids-- somewhere upwards of 15% of Fairfax kids scored  higher than 98% nationally last year so it is impossible to tell -- without raw scores for comparison -- whether a 98% kid rejected last year was in the low or mid 80s locally or low 90s locally.   You could maybe ballpark it by assuming a VQN of 132 last year was somewhere around 85% locally but even that is probably a big assumption and hard to estimate once you move up in raw scores.  And of course without the GBRS info it would be even more difficult to compare the outcomes.   THe NNAT scores would still be ok for comparing because both last year and this year were scored nationally and I think used the same 132 benchmark.[/quote]
