[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The whole AAP admissions process is a dog and pony show. They hire consultants to come up with a process. This gets updated to represent the latest zeitgeist. Same as college admissions. The process gives cover to bureaucrats. I guess this might capture 1/2 or 3/4 of deserving students. Parents who are informed and interested stack the deck towards their kids. Not fair but that is how the game is played. Other kids are at a disadvantage. [/quote] However flawed, the admissions process captures 99% of deserving students. We hear from all 10 of 1% parents on this board.[/quote] It captures 99% of the kids of Gifted and Talented parents. A motivated parent gets 6-7 shots at admission to AAP and eventually they do get in. As I said, it is really gifted and talented parent program.[/quote]
