Whats the borderline scores that could be affected?  Would it be something like 128-132?  What about kids with scores a little over 132?[/quote]
It seems like there's high variability in the acceptance for kids with test scores in the 120-131 range or with barely in-pool scores + lower GBRS.  I wonder if they are viewed by the committee as not specifically needing AAP, but being acceptable to fill out a cohort.

FWIW, people in my neighborhood are open with scores, and nearly everyone got into the AAP center.  Most of the kids had scores in the low 120s and were solid students, but not outliers in any sense.  It's hard for me to imagine that any of those kids "need AAP", but they all would be acceptable fillers in an AAP classroom.

This is all speculation, though, since none of us knows what goes on behind the scenes for the AAP selection.  It would make a lot of sense if they had a target number for each center, as well as a minimum and maximum value they reasonably want to accommodate.  Some centers then would have more capacity to admit borderline kids to reach their target numbers, whereas other ones might have very little room.  This is irrelevant to OP's situation, though, as the stats were shoo-in level and not at all borderline.  [/quote]
