[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This sort of reminds me of the argument about whether people who wrote on to law review were as smart and deserving as those who just graded on, or if people with lower LSATs but higher law school grades were smarter. IMO, grades and ability to write-on indicate important personal characteristics that do not correlate directly to IQ ... but the people who just blow standardized tests out of the water are STILL smarter and have more brainpower. Arguably, it is the kids with all the brainpower but perhaps less discipline (probably as a result of their brainpower since they never had to try hard) are the ones who actually NEED a special program like AAP in order to properly develop their work habits and skills. The ones who appeal in and work diligently and get good grades? Meh, they would probably be just fine anywhere. [/quote] Could not agree more. +1000. These are the kids the program was created for.[/quote]
