[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Still seems like 2500 kids in pool is way too many-I had heard usual number of kids in pool is about 1200 and that of those, 2/3rds are accepted. Will they be forced to take more in AAP classes this year or will most of the pool kids get weeded out by GRBS? Also, seems like there shouldn't be much room for parent referred kids if the pool is so large.[/quote] As has been rehashed here repeatedly, a high test score is only one indicator of a gifted child (and a poor indicator, if the child has been coached). Unless you have a spectacularly biased teacher/committee, GBRS seems like a very fair weed-out process for all children, whether in pool or referred.[/quote]
