[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your kid is probably the kind who can become a good surgeon one day.

Neighbor’s kid is probably the kid who creates the new surgical technique to be learned by millions and will change countless lives.

Out of the box thinker. [/quote]

Agree.  They both sound like great kids.  [/quote]

No question. I’m the one who gave the example. Op seems to think that because her child is more the typical work hard and seemingly gets results kind of kid, her kid is more deserving of the program. He is not. Aap admittance could be solely based on grades, dras, etc., but they aren’t. [/quote]

I’m not op, but I didn’t read anywhere where she said her kid is more deserving because he works harder. She was just concerned that her kid makes it to ap.

132 is still the top 2% of the population. NNAT is a screener so to speak. A complete IQ test will give op the answer as to her child’s true intelligence. There are plenty studied that point out that for high IQ kids the nnat/CogAT correlation to IQ scores is not close to 1. So, kids IQ could be 150 and NNAT still be 132.

Op, good luck. I hope your child gets in. If he doesn’t, appeal. [/quote]

She implied the neighbor’s kid was less deserving:

Neighbor’s kid [b]always seems less then stellar but somehow [/b]got NNAT of 145, [b]does bare minimum to get by and focuses more on sports [/b]etc. My kid loves school, works his butt off, does tons of extra science classes after school and I think aap would be good fit but he only got a 132. Will committee take this into effect or [b]will slot go to someone like neighbors kid[/b]?

Then after the bolded part above, her son works his butt off and loves school. The word “somehow” alone shows she doesn’t think the other kid “deserved” a high score. [/quote]
