[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No anactodally every parent I know that submitted a referral, and filled it out completely, had their child get in. I’m not talking about just doing the 1 page referral- I’m talking about aubmitting all optional material only.

So yes though just anecdotal but this has been my experience. And I bet OP would be kicking him or herself if their child didn’t get in and they didn’t fill out the forms. So my recommendation is fill them out.[/quote]

Just to add, if your child is in the pool and you still submit referral forms, the referral forms are automatically ignored and not considered by the central committee. [/quote]

That's what I heard too.  Optional questionnaire forms will be considered, but not the referral forms if my child is in the pool.[/quote]

Completely contrary to what my AART told us at our informational meeting. Who told you this (person and school name)?[/quote]

This is directly from our AART and also confirmed by AAP Central Committee.  File can be reviewed in two ways (1) pool or (2) referral and can't be both.  When you are in pool and still submit referral forms, then they have to review it as (1) automatically so the referral form itself can't be reviewed, but optional parent questionnaire, awards, work samples and recommendations etc. can still be reviewed because these are are optional.[/quote]
