[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our base school has level IV classrooms but is not a center.  So many of you on this board are experts on all things AAP.  Is it any different (harder, easier) to get into a base school with level IV versus a center?  My DC is totally on the bubble and I am wondering whether our chances are any different given that he will not be going to a center.  Is the application process any different? I am new to all this, so any input would be appreciated.[/quote]

IME, it makes no difference.  You are either accepted into AAP LIV or you are not.  If a child is accepted into AAP level IV, he/she can have the choice between LLIV and an AAP Center.  Some LLIVs are very strong and some are not.  You can tell which schools have strong LLIV if they retain a majority of their LIV AAP students.

However, the way our local school handles LLIV is that children who qualify for LLIII are in some of the LLIV classes.  For example, if you have a child who is really great at science and math but not so much in English.  He/She may be placed in the AAP math and science classes but not in the English and History classes.  At least that is how it has worked at our school.   It is also that way at the Middle School.  I know several children who take AAP classes for some core subjects but not for all.  [/quote]
